Club Champion, a leading custom golf club fitting company, today announced a new partnership with the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), a professional organization dedicated to advancing sports medicine and helping athletes of all levels remain active.
“Golf is a game people want to play for their entire lives, and an injury shouldn’t necessarily mean the end of that journey,” said Nick Sherburne, Founder of Club Champion. “We’re incredibly excited to partner with AOSSM and its members to help golfers get back to doing something they love. Doctors do the important work of helping patients recover and return to activity safely. Our role is to make sure their equipment fits the golfer they are today, not necessarily the golfer they were before an injury. Together, we have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”
