Filipinos Francis Go and Jake Ong from Custom Clubmakers International have been honored as members of the elite World’s Top 100 ClubFitters for 2009, according to KZG.

The honor is the third successive award for Go and the fourth for Ong. They are the only Filipinos to have ever received the prestigious industry award.

The World’s Top 100 ClubFitters distinction is designed to identify professionals who possess superior skill, integrity, business ingenuity and passion for their profession and who offer the golfing public the very best clubfitting experience.

Custom Clubmakers International has been in the clubmaking business since 1998. The company’s mission is “to contribute to the game of golf by providing professional clubfitting, clubmaking, and club repair services at the highest standards.”

Francis and Jake are also founding members of the International Professional Association of ClubFitters (IPAC) and have helped thousands of golfers play a better game with custom fitted clubs. At this year’s 2009 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, they were part of the IPAC Custom Fit Center and helped golf professionals worldwide understand the vast benefits of custom fitting.

“There is no greater joy than to honor individuals like Francis and Jake who excel in their profession,” said Jennifer King, president of KZG. “The World’s Top 100 ClubFitters are all exceptional individuals, not only in their pursuit of perfection to help every golfer to a better game, but also for their involvement in the community and in the growth of the game. Congratulations to both of them!”

This year’s honorees represent the elite of the profession and hail from 22 countries around the world. They range from small shops serving rural areas to large operations doing extensive business with multiple fitters, instructors and fitting bays. For the first time, more than half of the award recipients were outside the United States.
