We're all about
Bringing the short game fun back!
Bridging the gap between tour pro's and casual golfers to offer more spin, more control and more fun around the greens.
Why we're here
SmithWorks Golf exists to address the gulf in shot making ability around the greens between casual golf players and PGA Tour Professionals.
We want to boost participation, attract new players, make occasional golfers want to play more and turn these into avid golfers by developing the game.
Without moving away from the traditions of the game, SmithWorks aims to bring back some aspects of shot making that have been taken away.
Recent regulation changes are really aimed at 0.5% of the world golfers - elite pros - because of escalating distance achieved with ball and club equipment giving unfair advantages.
Golf ball innovations of the golf ball from Balata cover and wound core to multi-layer sold balls have added distance, but taken away some of the fun around the greens.
Groove restrictions have also impacted wedges and shot making around the green.
Tour players have the luxury of playing new wedges every week which retain the factory groove sharpness, however amateur players and non tour pro’s don’t have the same opportunity.
99.9% of golfers will not hit the ball as far as a tour pro, but with Smithworks wedges you can certainly hit shots up to and around the greens worthy of any tour player
Our aim is to bring the fun back into our beloved game for old and new golfers alike.
Our Mission
"To design and build golf equipment that enhances enjoyment of the game for all playing levels".
Working to the good of the game and love of our sport, we believe that golf is built on integrity, etiquette and camaraderie, all played in a healthy environment by all age groups together.
