ABOUT
Hi, I’m Sam Smith, and golf has been a part of my life since I was nine years old. My journey began on a family holiday to Scotland, when my dad took me to the pitch and putt “Wee Course” at the famous Gleneagles. That Christmas, I was given my first set of golf clubs - and from that moment, I was hooked.
I’ve always had a passion for golf and knew from a young age that I wanted to build a career in the game. After leaving school, I started out at Horsley Lodge Golf Club and later joined American Golf, where I discovered my real interest: club repairs and custom fitting. What began as a hobby quickly grew into what is now Golf Repairs 4 U.
Back then, there weren’t many local options for golfers needing professional club repairs or someone who specialised in golf components. I saw an opportunity to combine both services - and in summer 2021, I took the leap to go full-time. Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength.
In summer 2022, I decided to take things further and open my own custom fitting studio. My goal was to combine my knowledge of golf components and fitting to offer something truly unique for local golfers. Focusing on shaft fittings, loft & lie checks, and data sessions, the studio helps players fine-tune their equipment and unlock their full potential.
After plenty of hard work, the Golf Repairs 4 U Fitting Studio officially opened in early 2023, fully equipped with a Foresight GC2 with HMT Launch Monitor and FSX Software - giving golfers accurate data and real results.
Most recently, I’ve also taken on running the Pro Shop at Shirland Golf and Country Club, where we welcome both members and visitors. To keep up with our growing business, I’m joined by Harrison, who assists in the shop and manages our expanding online store.
