Custom Golf Club Manufacturer, Hirekogolf.com Announces Thousands of New Online Shaft and Grip Upgrade Options to Improve Your Game

Hireko Trading Company, Inc. announced the launch of its new online custom golf club assembly initiative on its website www.hirekogolf.com. The new "build and buy" option will enable golfers to create a set of clubs to their exact specifications. Users can choose from thousands of combinations of clubheads, shafts and grips and receive an instant price for their options.

"Choice is the key to bringing online custom club building to golfers," said Rob Altomonte, VP of Marketing for Hireko Golf. "Until now, consumers have not had many choices when it came to purchasing online custom fit golf clubs. Hireko's goal is to give golfers seeking high quality custom clubs access to its 26 years of golf component expertise and resources. This includes our free Technical Hotline (800-942-5872), our new online GetFit Golf System that will assist you in the club fitting process and our inventory of thousands of shaft and grip models to choose. Choose either our brands such as Acer, Power Play and Apollo or such name brand shaft and grip manufacturers as Grafalloy, True Temper, Lamkin, Winn, Golf Pride, Aldila and many more."

"Simply speaking, Hireko is positioning itself to become the leading online retailer of custom made golf clubs," says Altomonte.

"Hireko wrote the book on custom golf club fitting," said Altomonte. "Hireko has published over 3 books on custom golf club fitting and remains the technical experts in the field." The new online custom club initiative is another symbiotic and evolutionary leap forward for Hireko Golf.

After the clubs arrive at the golfer's door in about a week, Hireko's superior customer and technical service will further support the buyer's online club purchase. Since 1980, Hireko has provided the golf industry with reliable, trusted and proven customer service and technical support.

"There are other companies who give online custom club fitting options. But Hireko's 26 years in the golf business, it's technical expertise, factory direct prices and access to thousands of shaft and grip combinations provide a unified and committed user experience that our competition cannot offer," states Altomonte.

Myrtle Beach Golf Fall Finds

The golf season in Myrtle Beach never really ends, but winter can be hit and miss, so it’s best to get in a few rounds of golf during the fall. Fall in Myrtle Beach is the best time for golf because the weather is still pretty nice, and all of the tourists have gone home. The pre-winter Myrtle Beach golf season is a great time for east coast locals to play on the over 100 golf courses that Myrtle Beach has to offer.

Some of the best Myrtle Beach golf courses in the fall include Wicked Stick, Waterway Golf Links, Dunes Golf and Beach Club and Barefoot Resort.

Wicked Stick golf course is a little easier than some of the other Myrtle Beach golf courses. It was designed by Clyde Johnston with lots of room for hitting away. The fairways are wide open, without any obstacles or trees to get in your way. The golf slope rating is 117.

Waterway Golf Links designed by Glen Dornoch is a Scottish-themed course that is considered one of the best golf courses in Myrtle Beach. It has won numerous golf awards, and has been recognized by many magazines.

The Dunes Golf and Beach Club is especially beautiful in the fall months of Myrtle Beach. It has been consistently rated as one of America's Top 100 courses, and has hosted a variety of national golf championships.

The Love Course at Barefoot Resort was designed by Davis Love III. It is a beautiful piece of property that winds through an old Myrtle Beach plantation. The Love Course's wide golf fairways and roomy landing areas make it a pleasure to play.

As always, be sure to make a golf course reservation when going down to Myrtle Beach to play.

Posture Tip


Golf Fitness expert Katherine Roberts gives posture tips and does a few exercises to help.

Golf carts

Golf carts are a convenience, a luxury even, and should not be used to annoy or distract other players. The cart should be parked behind or beside the tee, but never in front of it. Carts should normally stay only on the paths, and are required to do so on many courses. When a golfer gets out to walk to the ball, he or she should take a few extra clubs along to save an extra trip should a different club be needed, thereby keeping the pace of play moving along.

Should carts be permitted off the paths, golfers should observe the "90 degree rule": make a 90 degree turn off the path towards the fairway to a given ball, and return straight back to the path, not along the path of greatest convenience. Carts inflict wear and tear on the course, and can be accidentally driven over another player's ball. Golfers should keep the noise of backing up to a minimum and must always set the brake when leaving the cart.
