Matzie
Founded in 1946 by Fred Matzie at Westward Ho Golf Course in West Los Angeles, California, Matzie Golf has been creating and manufacturing innovative golf products. Immediately after World War II, materials such as brass were first metal and were difficult to obtain. Fred ordered the material from the foundry for use as door handles, and his first putter designs were actually mounted on the clubhouse doors. Since then, Velvet Touch Putters have gone on to greatness, having been used to win many PGA tournaments, including all four majors.
Through the years, putters have been a major part of business. The great Black Magic putter of the 50`s and 60`s was the first centershafted putter. In 1976 we began personalizing putters with company or tournament logos incorporated into the design. In 1985 Matzie rewrote history as the first stick manufacturing and sales company, and more recently adding belly sticks.
The Club was just the beginning. It acquired the Levings Golf Company in 1948 and began making custom clubs, and continues to make innovative wood and iron clubs to this day. In 1978 they launched the famous EZ Swinger golf club with a very flexible shaft, giving older people and women extra distance. Surprisingly, many PGA Tour professionals and college coaches have used the EZ Swinger as a pace training device, eventually creating an entirely new training and education department within the company.
In 1986, Delbert Page, one of our avid salespeople, introduced us to the Amazing ASSIST Swing Machine. This swing machine was originally designed and developed by the late professional trainer Tony Olsen. Well, they have agreed to manufacture and sell the Amazing ASSIST, which has delighted golfers around the world and has become the best-selling swing machine ever made. To complement ASSIST, we've added the Perfecter swing trainer and training grip.
Today they are on the threshold of a new realm with innovative products designed to enhance gaming. You can find products at the best professional and golf shops in the country.
