The most consistent golfer on Tour partners to win the Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout using a custom fit ACCRA Premium Golf Shaft





KINGSTON, Ontario (December 16th, 2013) – The Sea Island, Ga. resident, and 8th ranked golfer in the world, continued a year of stellar golf with a win at the 2013 Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout. The Bridgestone staff player teamed with another Sea Island resident to run away from the field and win this championship.
Early this year, this Georgia Tech graduate was custom fit by Justin Nelson of Cool Clubs into a Bridgestone 9.5 J series driver and ACCRA Tour Z ST 55 M4 shaft. Since that time he has been on quite a roll!  It has been quite a year for this golfer as he has won twice on the PGA Tour in 2013; at the President's Cup and now the Shark Shootout.
Players trusting ACCRA golf shafts on the PGA Tour have amassed three victories and there are currently two players in the top 10 of the World Golf Rankings.
"ACCRA truly believes that every golfer should be properly fit for every golf club in their bag by a professional club fitter/builder. In the long run, this will provide every discerning golfer with better results," stated Gawain Robertson, ACCRA Golf co-founder. "In this case, a PGA Tour player visited Cool Clubs in Scottsdale, Arizona and was fit by master club fitter, Justin Nelson, to an ACCRA Tour Z ST 55. After being fit he went on to have his best year ever including two PGA Tour victories," continued Robertson.
ACCRA certified fitters are located in virtually every major golf hot spots in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and South America.  ACCRA Premium Golf Shafts are exclusively available through the world's best club fitters because it simply does not make sense to buy off a rack without being custom fit.  PGA Tour players, elite amateurs and discerning golfers of all levels can benefit by having their clubs matched to their swing.
ACCRA shafts have always been designed to enable the world’s best club fitters to have multiple options.  This ensures that serious golfers of all levels can be properly fit to maximize launch conditions for increase distance and accuracy.

ACCRA's Gawain Robertson and Dave Makarucha receive Top Golf Exucutives in Canada Award

Please Click here to read entire story here….

Canadian Golf Executive of the Year


The nominees: Dave Wilson (PING Canada), James Lepp (Kikkor Golf), Ted Manning (Acushnet Canada) Don Nichols (Second Skin), Gawain Robertson/Dave Makarucha (ACCRA Golf), John Sibley (Nike Golf Canada), Dave Bradley (TaylorMade-adidas Canada), Sima Anvari/Lauren Demerling (Catwalk Artwear)

The Winner: Gawain Robertson/Dave Makarocha (ACCRA Golf)



The Winner: Gawain Robertson/Dave Makarucha (ACCRA Golf) 



My take: One of the elite names in premium golf shafts, ACCRA executives Gawain Robertson (left) and Dave Makarucha (right) continue to infuse the Kingston, Ontario-based brand into the industry with shafts of impeccable quality and performance. To do so, Robertson and Makarucha continue to put their branding and promotional trust into professional club fitters around the world along with high-profile usage by PGA Tour professionals such as Luke Donald, Peter Hanson, Tim Clark, Miguel Angel Jiminez and Mark Calcavecchia. That combination continues to pay dividends for the brand and its continued growth in the shaft category is evidence the formula works. Honourable mention this year to Dave Bradley of TaylorMade-adidas Canada.



Canadian Golf Product of the Year


The nominees: BioSteel Sports Drink, Miura KM-007 putter, Sunice Albany Jacket, DryRainge, Kikkor Men’s Player-Tips Collection, ACCRA Hybrex iron shafts, Catwalk Zippy 2013, Hollas Men’s Drywick 1/4-Zip


The Winner: Miura KM-007 Putter



My take: Although it stakes its global reputation on beautifully crafted irons, Miura Golf’s ability to produce outstanding products in other categories is vastly underappreciated. Case in point: Miura’s KM-007 putter. Part of the Vancouver company’s Series 57 putter line, Katsurhiro Miura’s elegantly crafted KM-007 mallet uses the same close-grain forging process used in the company’s irons and is CNC milled for outstanding feel and responsiveness. Amid golf’s best-known putter brands, this is a standout product from the Canadian OEM. Honourable mention to ACCRA for its new Hybrex iron shafts and Catwalk’s always fashionable women’s Zippy product.
