UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — Until this year, the U.S. Open had never been held in the Pacific Northwest or the State of Washington. However, golf has flourished in this region for many decades. Several international golf companies have established headquarters in Washington or have ownership ties to influential figures in the greater Seattle area. Here are several products from a sampling of those companies:
Aerotech i95 SteelFiber iron shaft
Aerotech i95 SteelFiber iron shaft
Bellingham, Wash.
A combination of graphite and steel mesh, AeroTech's i95 SteelFiber iron shaft is used by Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker on the PGA Tour.
