Golf club fittings take into consideration your current capabilities on the golf course and the type of equipment available on the market. However, there is more to it than that. Golf club fittings should be custom tailored to where you play golf. In Bend, Oregon, the climate, weather, and terrain are unique, presenting some challenges to golfers. At True Spec Bend, we have come up with a few of the things that all Bend golfers should know about these impacts on their golf equipment.
Ground Firmness and Wedge Bounce
Golf wedges have bounce and grind options that can be customized to help you adjust to the firmness of the ground. Softer course conditions can require a little more bounce in your wedges, but most Bend courses have firmer conditions.
In addition, golfers that struggle with inconsistent turf interaction should consider the impact of sole design on the turf.
When you look at golf professionals’ wedges, you will quickly see that they have a combination of bounce and grind to suit the courses they play. True Spec Bend can do this for you.
Altitude and Distance
Bend has about 3000 feet of elevation. You can get longer distances on average when hitting golf shots at higher altitudes, but this could throw off the yardages you are normally used to hitting. Some clubs may need to have loft and weighting adjustments to make trajectory and ball flight more controllable.
For golfers just moving to the Bend area, loft gapping sessions are very important for determining which clubs may need a bit of tweaking. A higher altitude is a great benefit, but you must use it to your advantage when you can.
Uneven Terrain
It’s very common to play golf courses with difficult greens and uneven lies in the Bend, Oregon, area. Not only does this bring up the importance of having the right shaft in place and a bit of forgiveness in your golf club, but it also pays to have the right putter.
True Spec Bend has a complete putter fitting setup, so those undulating greens will not cause another three putt for you!
Wind
Some golf courses in Bend are subject to very high winds. The winds are the result of the higher altitude, thin air, and the higher desert region location. If you have played golf for quite some time, you know that wind causes major issues with optimizing ball flight and control.
Your True Spec master fitting professional will discuss options for golf shafts that allow workability and ways to control ball flight to hit a more penetrating shot.
