Four People, One Building
Everybody here fits and everybody here builds. There is no hand-off to an unseen assembly department, because the person who chose your spec is usually the one gluing the head on.
Elton Orsini
Elton opened the shop in 2009 after eight years as a bag-room-to-back-shop apprentice at a private club on the Isle of Hope, where he learned wedge grinding from a superintendent who had more feel for turf than most fitters have for numbers. He still handles every sole reshape personally and takes the position, unpopular with sales reps, that most golfers are carrying one wedge too many.
Away from the bench he plays a 4 handicap and complains constantly about his own putting, which is why he does not run the putter bay.
Nadia Broussard
Nadia came to Savannah from a launch monitor manufacturer's field support team, which means she spent four years watching fitters misread their own equipment and has opinions about it. She runs driver and fairway wood sessions and is the reason every outdoor confirmation gets logged with the wind direction written at the top of the page.
She is also the person to ask if you want to understand why your simulator carry number and your on-course carry number disagree.
Curtis Hallowell
Curtis played four years of college golf at a small program in south Georgia, then spent most of a decade teaching before deciding he preferred equipment to swing mechanics. He handles iron sessions and the putter bay, and he is unusually patient with golfers who arrive certain that their irons are the problem when the gapping chart says otherwise.
His standing advice: measure your putter length before you buy a new one, because the number stamped on the shaft and the number you actually use are rarely the same.
Marisol Prieto
Marisol runs the build room and the appointment book, which makes her the person most likely to answer when you call. She came from a bicycle shop where she built wheels for a living, and she brought the same tolerance for tedium to shaft tipping and swingweight matching — jobs that reward someone willing to redo a step rather than accept "close enough."
If your build finishes early, it is because she found a gap in the schedule and used it.
Where the Crew Keeps Learning
Everybody here attends at least one manufacturer technical seminar a year, but the more useful education happens in the building. Once a month we close the bays for an afternoon and re-test something we think we already know — a shaft weight assumption, a bounce recommendation, a mat-to-turf carry offset.
A surprising number of those sessions end with us changing our advice. The launch monitor comparison that produced our current radar-versus-camera guidance came out of exactly that kind of afternoon.
The comparison we wrote up →Who You Will See
- Wedge or short game session → Elton
- Driver or fairway wood session → Nadia
- Iron or putter session → Curtis
- Full bag assessment → two fitters, split across the appointment
- Build questions or rescheduling → Marisol
If you have a preference, say so when you book. We can usually accommodate it with a few days' notice.
