Venice Golf Center

"I got fitted for a new driver with Dave. He was very helpful in finding the right fit. He helped me with my swing and took the time to make sure I was comfortable with the right driver. We will be coming back for lessons and anything else we need for golf."

"David Vaught is easily the best thing that has happened to golf in Venice in the 12 years I have lived here. He personally as well as his vast experience in club fitting and repair will be a game changer for all golfers in the area. I had David evaluate my current driver and putter today.....he fitted me to a new shaft that improved all of my driving distance and dispersion figures to such a degree that I was stunned. He explained in depth how the data revealed why the shaft I had in driver was totally wrong for my swing despite the fact that the head was a perfect fit. I fully expected the fitting to reveal that at the most a minor tweak would be all he would find. How wrong I was! He changed the shaft, put on he grip of my choice, and gave me a substantial discount. He also checked the specs on my putter and asked what my typical miss looked like. When I told him he replied that he only asked to verify what he already knew based upon what he had found. Let's just say that if you have never had a putter fitting I would highly recommend that you give David a call and set up an appointment. In my 60 plus years of dealing with golf professionals and club fitters in both Florida and Massachusetts I have never come in contact with anyone with the knowledge, resume, and ability to diagnose and propose solutions to help me play better. And I left feeling totally convinced that David gets genuine satisfaction from helping people improve. And he is a great guy as well! I am really excited about dealing with David going forward and telling everyone I can how satisfied I am with the way he treated me today and also letting them know about the state of the art club repair and fitting store he is in the process of perfecting here in Venice."

"I needed to have my irons checked to determine if I needed new shafts or lie angles adjusted. David listened to my needs, spent time with me on the monitor and educated me on my numbers and options. He did not try and force a sale in any direction. He ultimately adjusted my clubs at a very reasonable price. I am very pleased with my experience and highly recommend David for your club fitting needs."

"I went in for a free club check that I found in the local paper. I only wanted the driver but David asked me to bring one of my mid irons in so I did. What a great guy and very patient with his customers. There needs to be 2 of him in the store. His input to what I needed was spot on with my driver but as I will probably replace my irons in the near future I declined and he was good with that. I will definitely be back to purchase new irons from him and he will make them perfect I’m sure."

"My family and I got together to replace my husband’s clubs which had been stolen a year ago. Matt scheduled his fitting and Bill and David were so great. Bill spent the time to find the perfect set for Matt! I enjoyed watching too! We are so grateful for the professional help, as well as the enjoyable experience! If I ever take up golf, I’ll be back for my own fitting! Thank you guys so much!"
