Company Feature: Miura Golf

By Glen Turk

Golf is the ultimate game of contradiction. How else can you explain that in order to get the ball up in the air you must hit down on it. Or my favorite, the farther left you aim the further right the ball will normally go. And when it comes to golf equipment, Japanese -based Miura Golf is trying to debunk the old myth that only Touring Professional get to play a forged club with buttery smooth feel.

Simply stated, Miura irons are the handsomest weapons money can buy and can be likened to the Rolls Royce's or Rolex's of the world based upon their attention to detail. Henry Fink, President of Tee To Green, based out of New Berlin, Wisconsin. is one of only 20 nationwide dealers to carry the Miura line of irons and wedges. "The feedback that I receive from customers is amazing! The amount of pride that Miura club owners feel is second to none in the golf industry and I feel very fortunate to carry their line," said Fink.

Founder/Master Craftsman Katsuhiro Miura has been making forged clubs for nearly 50 years and builds them on a per order basis to ensure the utmost quality. Ted Cotter, Miura's VP of Operations elaborates on their quality over quantity approach. "Through our research we believe Miura's 14 step forging process results in the tightest grain structure in the industry. Imagine looking at a jar of sand next to a jar of marbles. Our clubfaces would be the jar of sand, and thus when you hit our product 99.9% of the time you'll feel the difference," stated Cotter.

About: Glen Turk

Glen Turk is a Wisconsin native and is the Senior Writer/Editor of Midwest Golfing Magazine. Midwest Golfing Magazine was formerly known as Pub-Links Golfer's Magazine and is a free publication distributed four times per year throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio.

His duties at MGM include writing course features, facilitating product testing, and overseeing the overall content and look of the magazine. But clearly his most important task is playing as much golf as his wife allows. Fortunately for him, she plays also and loves out-driving him even with a 60 yard head start.

Glen plays to a 6 handicap but once set a record by having his ball retriever regripped 15 times in one calendar year. It was a December trip to Guam that ultimately did him in. Finally, if you haven't caught on by now, the two most worthy weapons in Glen's writing arsenal are self-deprecating humor and pithy one-liners.
