GNL GOLF, LLC
LADY LAKE, FLORIDA

GNL Golf is the brainchild of John S. Ford, who’s been crafting golf clubs since the early 70’s Ford’s state-of-the-art, evidence-based approach to golf improvement has helped thousands of people move up to new levels of proficiency. Ford assesses his client’s equipment, set-up, body balance, aim and clubface-to-ball impact point. What he has found might surprise you. Ford has built a one-of-a-kind golf training center in The Villages, Florida. It’s a research facility, club-making shop, learning center, and an indoor driving range, all in one. “It’s not like any golf shop you’ve ever seen,” says Bill Spriet, of GNL Golf. “People walk in here and they don’t really know what to think. It’s a bit old-school, but there are also lots of high tech instruments and equipment. It’s part country club, part science lab.” What you won’t find at GNL Golf is the same old offerings that you can get in other local retail golf shops in Central Florida. It’s a service business, not a retail shop,” said Prentice Yates, a long-time customer. “The business model is completely different. John Ford’s experience in the club making business and his 40 years of data collection is what makes this such a valuable learning experience.” “What I learned from the tour pros is that every player has his own, authentic swing, and his clubs need to be built to match that swing,” Ford says. “I really enjoy working with people, fixing their clubs, and helping them get better. I’m not interested in just selling the same old stuff, right off the retail shelf. Most GNL Golf clients are average, weekend golfers, but Ford says they actually have fairly consistent swings. “You use your putter twice as much as any other club,” Ford says. “And when I show people that they’re not aiming where they think they’re aiming, or that their putter does not fit their eyes, they’re blown away. Eight out of ten come back for help with the rest of their game.” Golf at the Next Level. That’s what we deliver… No matter where you start, we’ll help take your game to a new level. Up you go!
