Fujikura May Dealer of the Month: The Golf Ranch – Georgetown, TX
MAY 30TH, 2025: At Fujikura, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on The Golf Ranch in Georgetown, Texas, as our Dealer of the Month. Since opening its doors in 2010, this family-owned golf shop has grown into a cornerstone of the local golf community, delivering exceptional service, cutting-edge club fitting, and a welcoming atmosphere for golfers of all levels. Their journey, dedication to custom fitting, and deep partnership with Fujikura make them a standout in the industry.
A Family-Owned Legacy Built on Community
The Golf Ranch began with a simple mission: create a space where every golfer feels like family. From its humble beginnings, the shop has stayed true to its roots, fostering a warm, inclusive environment. “We wanted to build a place where new and seasoned golfers alike feel right at home,” Ryne from The Golf Ranch, shared.
In 2016, The Golf Ranch expanded to a second location, doubling down on custom club fitting when it was still a novel concept. By 2021, they took a bold step forward, purchasing 5.5 acres to construct a state-of-the-art 20,000 sq. ft. facility. Opened in August 2024, this new space boasts seven hitting nets and a custom fitting studio designed to deliver unparalleled 1-on-1 fitting experiences. Their philosophy? “Let the numbers do the talking.” By prioritizing data-driven fittings and honest recommendations, The Golf Ranch ensures every golfer walks away with gear that truly fits their game.
A Trusted Fujikura Partner Since 2016
The Golf Ranch’s partnership with Fujikura began early but deepened in 2016 as they embraced custom fitting. “What stood out immediately was the range Fujikura offers”. From tour-level performance with the VENTUS line to accessible yet high-performing options like the Vista Pro, Fujikura’s shafts cater to every golfer. But it’s not just about the products—it’s about the partnership. “Fujikura’s commitment to quality and consistency mirrors our own values,” the team said.
Fitting Wisdom: Feel First, Numbers Follow
When it comes to fitting, The Golf Ranch has a refreshing approach: prioritize feel. “Too often, players chase numbers without considering how the club feels in their hands,” they explained. Their advice? Find a shaft that feels comfortable to swing. A shaft that matches your swing’s rhythm leads to more consistent strikes, naturally improving launch, spin, and distance. They also challenge the obsession with stiffness, noting, “You don’t need to swing a 2×4 to get results.” This philosophy, paired with Fujikura’s versatile lineup, ensures golfers leave with a shaft that enhances both performance and confidence.
A VENTUS Success Story
One fitting story stands out for the team. When VENTUS launched, they were skeptical about its premium price point. “I thought, ‘There’s only so many people willing to spend $350 on a shaft,’” Ryne recalled. They started with a modest order of 5-10 shafts. Seven years and hundreds of VENTUS shafts later, they admit they underestimated its impact. A longtime customer, a former college golfer, recently switched to a VENTUS Blue with VeloCore+ after years with the same driver shaft. “He still plays that one we built for him and recently upgraded to the VeloCore+ model,”.
What’s Hot at The Golf Ranch
Right now, the VENTUS Blue with VeloCore+ is the most popular shaft of the shop. Golfers rave about its smooth feel, stability at impact, and shot-to-shot consistency. The Vista Pro line also shines as a go-to for value-conscious players. “It’s a quality product that delivers performance and consistency without breaking the bank,” the team said. The new VeloCore+ models are gaining traction, with customers loving their refined feel and reliability, signaling a shift from the original VeloCore line.
Why The Golf Ranch Stands Out
The Golf Ranch’s commitment to honest, data-driven fittings, their family-oriented approach, and their deep trust in Fujikura’s products make them a true partner in elevating the game of golf. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or chasing a tour dream, their new Georgetown facility is a must-visit for any golfer looking to unlock their potential.
