GCA Accreditation
To become an Accredited Clubmaker member of the Golf Clubmakers Association,
I had to pass a rigorous 394-question exam covering a variety of topics including
specifications and design, clubmaking,
fitting, assembly, frequency/flex,
torque, swingweighting, rules of golf as related to equipment,
loft and lie, grips, and graphite vs. steel shafts.
