On Sunday, September 20th, the 95th anniversary Men’s Club Championship was held at the local Whispering Hills 18-hole golf course just east of Walkerton on Bruce Road 4. It was the first time that two of the top three golfers were also members of the Ironwedge Target Greens Range, Brockton’s premium golf practice facility and learning academy next to the golf course. Both Kaufman (46) and Hoffarth (66) are PING USA custom-fit golf equipment clients of the Darrell Day Authorized PING® Custom-Club Fitting Centre located at Ironwedge range.
Practice proves to make perfect. Shawn Kaufman (46) of Walkerton was again this year’s men’s club champion (6-time), shooting an 8-over-par 79. When asking Kaufman after his round about his win, he replied;
“Well, the work at Ironwedge Target Greens Range the last couple years showed today. I didn’t play well at times, but, my floor has been raised where today was a 79. A couple of years ago that would have been in the 80’s. Irons and wedges were good all day. Fourteen of eighteen greens I was on in regulation, or no more than 12 feet off the green. I think my struggles were with tempo off the tee. I got quicker as the day went along. Always been a struggle of mine in tournaments. The practice at Ironwedge Target Greens Range has made my irons and wedges pretty solid — no troubles there. It’s an investment in your game to be a member at Ironwedge. History will show how many good players have been members of Ironwedge. It’s not a fluke that the Ironwedge range members have success.
Nice to see John (Bubba) Hoffarth (Ironwedge range member) win 3rd place, he has definitely improved this year.”
