Getting to know Dan Weitzel

Dan Weitzel, owner and operator of Weitzel Golf, has been an avid participant as a player and an equipment junkie for over 50 years. Dan was a competitive golfer in his 30’s and 40’s and still plays (but not quite as well as the old days!). Dan started as a hobbyist back in the late 1970’s in club building as he transferred around the country with Gates Corporation and worked in some areas where club repair was not locally available. In 2002 he incorporated and began getting more serious about club and fitting technology. In 2011, he retired from Gates and began working full time as a builder and fitter.

Dan started (as many club people have) as a component club builder, using components from Golfsmith, Wishon and others. More commercially available brands like Adams and Tour Edge were added to his lines, and now today he represents major brands such as Callaway and Mizuno. Weitzel Golf has contracts with virtually every major shaft company as well, resulting in the best possible combinations of heads and shafts in the marketplace.

In addition to the growth from a brand perspective, Dan has also learned something new about the club industry on a near every day basis. He has developed his own approach to club building and fitting that offers his clients to the tightest tolerances and best opportunities to “try before you buy” in the industry. You will see and feel the difference when you visit Dan to talk about golf clubs.

Finally, Dan never wants to have an unhappy client. He goes out of his way to make sure you have many appropriate options to try, and if something changes during the process, he will change your clubs to adapt. It doesn’t matter if you are a plus handicap or a 90’s shooter – he will do everything possible to improve your game. You can tell from his dozens and dozens of glowing references he does really care, and it shows in the final product.
