The following week I noticed that Brent Takemoto had made a 173 yard hole in One at Northridge Country Club . The wild thing about this was that Brent had purchased the very first set of irons from our golf shop 5 years ago. He had just stopped by for a club check up in which we fine tuned his clubs! Harry Cohen has made 2 hole in ones on Two Rivers Golf clubs! Keith Gault hit a hole in one with his friends, however, they said it doesn't count officially because he hit it from the blue tees when they playing their round from the white tees. (It sounds like the club did it's job - the rest is up to the golf course) Lyn Athey also recently hit a hole in one! Congrats to all of you! Now we are very curious as to how many Two Rivers Golfers have made a hole in one since playing with their new stix. At any rate we have become acustomed to everyday miracles from golfers who are playing in our opinion the absolute best in clubs - magic stix! Call us or email us with your success stories --- and thank you for your continued support. - Scott |

Leah Heine Congrats and Welcome to the Hole in One Club. |
We will reserve this spot for Mason Welch. Although the Sacramento Bee failed to mention Mason's accomplishments We definately are most proud of Mason and have no doubts the Bee will catch up soon enough. Mason is on his 2nd full set of Two Rivers clubs, third driver and star pupil of one of our coaches Doug Seyfried. As a Freshman at Del Campo last year Mason was the league MVP, the school MVP and Awarded Freshman Athelete of the year from his school. As a sophmore Mason went undefeated in his league, for the second year in a row was awarded league MVP and school MVP for his golf team. Mason routinely beats the star golfers the Sacramento Bee reported on and is most definately an Athelete to keep your eyes on. We are equally if not more proud of Masons accomplishments in school and his conduct on the golf course. Mason has become a true role model. I'd like to congradulate Mason, his family and the Two Rivers Golf folk who have had some say in shaping his game. |
Up and Comming Tournament Golfers! |

Dave Cardy, x-pro golfer Incline Village, Nevada. He left this message on VM: "The Driver is absolutely awesome! I don't think there is a driver made in the world that I can do any better than this; I can work the ball all directions, I hit it dead straight most of the time and Just hit the HELL out of it! Awesome. Great job Scott! Thank you." Bryon Zympher , high tech businessman -Walnut Creek "The irons are awesome! They felt so good...they just improved my swing! So..lovin those. Also my first coaching session with Tom was incredible. He immediately helped my game and I can see how I'll drop my scores with his guidance. I played a round after my session that had to be the easiest golf I've ever played! Thanks again. Ray Kearns, Utah Ray and Dennis drove from Utah to Sacto to be fit by Two Rivers Golf. Following is emails between Ray and Tom Wishon (Tom Wishon Golf Technology) : Tom Wishon, author "In Search of the Perfect Club," golf designer etc.. responding to Ray's email: Keith Gault , firefighter "I have tried hundreds of driver and nothing has even come close to what this driver does . I shot a 72 at WildHawk, a 74 at Woodcreek and with no wind shot a 318 yard drive! I'm hitting that driver so good it's unbelievable! This club has turned out to be phenomenal! thanks again. Bill Bailey, author I hit a large bucket saturday, and once I started swinging well, and letting the super clubs do the work..I can only say, I just have done this years ago! They are fantastic..and once I get used to having them, I expect my game will never be better..thanks so much to you and Will for zeroing in on clubs for my swing, and making this older golfer young again! Bill Carlos Wesenberg. local Ron Dennison, England To Scott and future Two Rivers Golf Customers, 12/27/06
Like so many beginning golfers, I started out on the wrong foot. I took up golf 11 years ago when I was a teenager. I bought a one-price complete golf set from a general sports store and was told by an employee that one size fits all. Specifically, I was told if you are anywhere from 5’- 6’ tall off-the-rack clubs fit. DEAD WRONG! As I later learned and payed through the nose on many embarrassing rounds and I eventually stopped playing for several years. This last year I decided to take lessons and have learned the fundamentals to play the different shots and clubs of this challenging game. I noticed while using the instructors ‘standard’ teaching clubs that the lie was ‘off’. So I educated myself about the world of ‘custom clubs’.
I am an American living in England, so I decided I would have clubs built while visiting my hometown, Sacramento. I visited a few clubmakers, but I was most impressed with Scott Herrigstad of Two Rivers Golf. What sold me about Scott is he builds with the best components and doesn’t associate with clones. Most important is Scott’s communication in this collaborative process with the customer and clubs. His dedication for getting the optimum results is very apparent during fitting. I spent 7 hours (I kept count) in Scott’s shop while I was fitted for irons, woods and a putter. It wouldn’t have taken so long but I am a lefty and this limits availablilty of components. For anyone in the market for golf clubs, I suggest you ask yourself: What is my swing speed? What loft is appropriate for my swing? How long should my shaft be for my ability and stature? What shaft flex do I need? What lie angle fits me? What grip is most comfortable? Do I need more/less weight in my clubhead? Who’s going to give me the custom service I need and has the technical expertise? Scott answered these questions and more. My Tom Wishon clubs are shipping right now, and I am very excited to play golf with custom fitted clubs. All I have to do is practice & learn, play & have fun, and trust my equipment—which will be effortless. Thank you, Ron Denison Mildenhall, England Wow! Ron - give us a heads up on how your game improves, thanks, Scottennison, England update email
Allan Wirth, Bay Area I just wanted to express my appreciation to Tom Wishon Golf, and Scott at Two Rivers Golf in Carmichael/Sacramento, CA (http://www.tworiversgolf.com/home.html). I am currently playing two sets of irons built by Scott: Wishon 550Cs and 560MCs; both have FST Pro Black Lite shafts and Lamkin Crossline Classic grips. It was well worth the 2 hour drive from the East Bay to get clubs built by someone who really knows his craft. Jaques Cormier -update, Atlanta, GA Hey whats up fellas. This is Jacques Cormier and just writing to give you an update on what has been going on with me and my golf game. I have been playing on this tour called the Georgia Pro-Am Golf tour and I am 4 for 4 in tournament wins. I play in the division according to my handicap, so I play in the first flight but am thinking about going to the pro division. There is a amateur division and a pro division. I have been playing with this young guy who is a scratch golfer and it has been making my game so much better. Since I have been here, I have shot a 71, 69, and 68 and am excited about the state of my game. People love my irons, they always ask what I am playing. When I shot the 68, I eagled one of the hardest holes on the course which is a 560 yard par five that has a sloping fairway from left to right. I hit about a 340 or 345 yard drive and a 220 yard 4 iron with the ball below my feet to within 5 feet of the pin. The guy I was playing with has been a member there for a long time and said he has never seen anyone eagle that hole. It plays up hill to the green. It feels like I am really learning how to hit those Tom Wishon irons, especially the long and mid irons. The last tournament I won, I shot a 76 and pretty much played 5 iron off 7-10 of the holes, hitting my 5 iron between 205 and 210 yards and I had one OB and didn’t birdie any of the par 5’s which I was near the green in two. In another tournament in Douglasville Georgia at a course called St. Andrews Golf & Country Club I shot a 76 and had 4 OBs, so the game is coming around and the irons are great. If you have any Tom Wishon shirts and hats or anything let me know how much so I can start wearing it during the tournaments. I also played in my first club tournament at my home course Mystery Valley and won that shooting a 77, so I am 5-0 in tournament in Georgia. Kevin Carew, Croatia "Dude - spoke to my bro-in-law this past weekend. He is VERY pleased with the club. In fact, he won a pro-am tourney using the Ferrari, and was pleased as punch with it. I'll see if we can get a cut of his take if he ever goes pro! Thanks a ton!!" Wow! best on-line fitting ever! Kevin Cassidy One day after picking up his newly adjusted putter: "I shot my lowest round ever today and wanted to stop by to personally tell you thanks. I shot 7 one putts! I'd also like to order a set of wedges." Oland Murphy Wanted a 200 yard club, ended up with a TWGT 785 HF hybrid (Angles Camp): "I shot 200 yards every time and straight as a string! At first I thought I must have had a mishit...this couldn't be right, but then another one was right on the money! I couldn't have asked for anything better. The MOI tune-up was also incredible. I must have gained 10 yards on every club! I was hitting my 5 iron 150 yards, now my 7 iron is my 150 yard club! I was just amazed!" Kevin W. McHenry, NorthPole, Alaska "Hey guys, just got back from my Vegas trip.....Thank you, thank you, thank you! My driver is close to effortless to pipe straight down the middle since the changes you've made to it. I used to be happy with 225 down the middle.
Lyn Athey "On just my third time out with my new driver I was blasting past my friends, whom we formally shot the same distance. I have gone from 180 yd drive to 200 in just 3 games! Also my irons that you adjusted are working beautifully. Good job! Dr. Alvin Jones, Georgia I love my Tom Wishon 560's. None of my friends had heard of them, but they know I always have the best equipment. I'm really happy with them. I'd still like to work on my driver my next trip out, but I did hit a 400 yard drive the other day! (We'll get it worked out-Scott) Ken Sherman Ken came to the shop looking for a 165 club: "I'm hitting the hybrid you made me 185 yards! I love it! I use it all the time, out of the rough, the fairways everywhere. It has become my goto club. " I was concerned about not getting the 165 yard mark, however, Ken loves the club and wants to update his set now that he's getting more than he expected. His goto club is a TWGT 785 hybrid #4 with a Fujikura Banzai shaft - I know what you're talking about Ken - I have exactly the same club in my bag! Tim Flanigan "I was trying to figure out the best way to describe what you guys do: Absolute Predictability. Even on knock down shots at the range I was hitting the same puddle every time." John Rowland "I shot an 85 at Spyglass - I'm very happy about that!" Thanks for the beers John and congrats! Dennis Dicks " Finally got to try new driver. A true masterpiece! Unless one is found that swings itself, the 949MC is in the bag to stay. Don't know if its the 1/2" taken off length or the new head but everything works great. Accuracy, feel and distance was excellent. Was getting 240-250 on wet course. Had to clean mud off every drive. Can only imagine with dry fairways how far ball will go. Sorry to hear 757 Speeder is being replaced. This is such an excellent shaft. (just my opinion) Thanks again ." Jaacob Bowden, Professional Golfer, Monterey Reply sent from Tom Wishon(Tom Wishon Golf Technology) to Jaacob “Glad to hear that your trip to Sacto was worthwhile! Scott and Jim are among the best clubmakers in the country because they do work hard to study all of the technical elements of proper fitting. I wish that all clubmakers had their passion and commitment.” Follow Jaacob's career in the upcoming documentary film: http://www.chasingthedreammovie.com/ Jeff Darrow On answering machine: "I had to take out the club tonite, I couln't resist. Anyhow, I got on the driving range..oh my God what a difference! Holy Crap! I thought I was hitting the ball when I first got the driver well, but now it's consistent even when I do it bad and I know what I'm doing wrong. I mean Holy Shit! I think you guys nailed it. I can't believe how far it's going. Nice Work." John Smillie John sent an email to Tom Wishon Golf Technology: Matt, I spoke with you late last year and I was finally able to make the trip from the San Francisco bay Area to Sacramento. Only problem......................I should have done it sooner. It was a great experience and they are building a MOI a set of 550C's for me. Another problem..........now that I got to see and hit more of the Wishon equipment I need more of it. 515 grt 5 wood,hybrid,driver....................did I miss anything. Anyway just wanted to let you know, this was a great experience and well worth the 2 and a half hour drive. You offerd to pay for my gas if it didn't work out..............................well I don't need it. In fact I will probably be making a few more trips there in the future." A few weeks later: Two Words -Awe-some! Those things are unreal! 95% of my hits were right in the middle of the clubface! I believe in these so much that I sold my Mizuno's! I played 3 days and had my best round ever at Poppy Hills! The divot pattersn were good, sole was hitting square etc. I had 8 legitimate chances at birdie. Now If I could just get my putter working. The gap wedge and hybrid you recommended were awesome. I guess to sum it all up I really had some quality iron shots and had a great time. Thanks. Coach Joe Neff, (track and field) "Wow, ok, first I'll comment emotionally. They were awesome! It was just no work to swing these clubs. Not like mine that feel like boards. It was out of control.... I was hitting the 5 iron 175-180 yards! and the 7 iron 165-180! Even my bad shots were pretty good. I could do things with these clubs that I never even thought of with my own clubs. They were absolutely sick! (in a good way). Technically they were the most forgiving clubs I have ever hit!." 6 months later: I just had my best round in my life- 2 pars! The driver gets me closer, the hybrids I couldn't believe - totally straight!, I put a 5 iron just off the green - to be honest and was impressed with my equipment! With my old set all the clubs went about the same distance - Now I am pretty much know where they're going. Greg Rodriguez Calling from the first green, the same day he picked up his new clubs: Friend "what'd you do to my boy! He just hit a 5 iron 210 and then a PW 150 to the green!" One week later "My irons are just soooo great! It's just a world of difference from my old set! you guys RULE! I just have sooo much confidence now, everything goes straight!" A few months later: I am down at least 10 strokes, nailing the wedges and love the hybrid. I am now consistently in the 80's and shot a 77 last week! Before I was usually in the 90's and low 100's! Casey Hoehn (HS team player) On message machine: "Wanted to give you guys some feedback on my 515 GRT 5 wood. I took it out for the first time and hit it straight down the middle around 250 yards! I crunched one around 265 and the guy I was playing with said "holy cow that's a 5 wood!" Two weeks later, after getting an Alpha Driverw/Evolution shaft: "What can I say! The driver was great today. I played it for the first time at Haggin Oaks today. At the second par five I hit it around 290 yards and ended up with an eagle. Otherwise I hit it nice and straight down the center. I was getting around 270 with around 6 feet of roll since the course was so wet. I reached 3 of the par 5's greenside and ended up with 2 eagles and a load of birdies and officially shot a par 71 on a par 72 course with your guys clubs! I want to thank you so much for your support and look forward to any other tweaks to my set that you recommend. Jan Stephenson, Northridge member. The day after her new iron set: "I just called to let you know I am so thrilled with my clubs I practiced for 1/2 hour with each club and even work on the Sand Wedge shot you showed me. It was just great - they all worked just like we talked about. What I really like was the length- they were so comfortable. Thanks again." Randy, Jan's husband, stopped by to give us feedback: "Just wanted to let you know that since you made those clubs for Jan she is shooting in the low 80's. Yesterday she called from Mexico after shooting an 82! and that was in the rain! Later, Jan called from Mexico: Boy did I have fun at a tourament Randy and I played at Cabo Del Sol here in Cabo. I got Longest drive and closest to the pin!!!!. Love my clubs, See you soon, Jan Howard Itow "As you know, I spent a great deal of money last year visiting the various golf shops from the Bay Area to Elk Grove to Folsom in search of the kind of service I felt I deserved for the price I was being asked to pay. Not one store could explain to me what I was getting in return. Needless to say, I didn't feel any of them deserved my business going forward. Fortunately, I've been able to save my friend's and neighbor's money by sending them to your shop. So far, they've been very happy with your service and appreciate my recommendation." Jeff Darrow Scott and Jim, I love the irons! The Hybrid is Money! Thank you for making the game of golf FUN again. I finally own clubs that I can hit. For all of you thinking about buying clubs go to Two Rivers Golf. Don't make the mistake of buying a set of clubs "off the rack" somewhere else. In addition, don't buy a driver that "looks nice" or that someone else swears by. The perfect driver has to be made specifically for YOU. This is the only way to go if you are looking for new clubs! Not only is the process, product, and experience fantastic but, Scott and Jim are good guys and they will take the time to build you the perfect clubs. Thanks again Scott and Jim. I will be stopping by again, now I need some fairway woods!. Dennis Futamase Ed Reeder "Hey Mike, I've been spending more time at Two Rivers Golf and referring more of my friends there as well. I think Scott and Jim are the best clubfitters in town, hands down. Everyone I have sent has had great success." Harry Cohen Reply sent from Tom Wishon(Tom Wishon Golf Technology) HARRY: Thank you VERY much for taking the time to email me and share your experiences in being fit at Two Rivers Golf. I want you to know that this is the 5th email that I have received in the past 3 months from a golfer who read the Search book AND was fit at Two Rivers Golf!! They truly are one of the best fitting shops in the whole country – in fact I wish that all clubmakers were as skilled and knowledgeable as Two Rivers have proven to be. They present what a real custom fitting experience is all about and I am so pleased that they have chosen to work with my company. Thanks again and best wishes to you in this great game, TOM WISHON more from Harry Cohen In an email sent to Tom Wishon reply from Tom Wishon
You are in superb hands with the guys at Two Rivers. In other words, they definitely are at the top of the list when it comes to what custom clubmakers can offer to golfers. I can tell you that I have received several very positive comments from golfers who have worked with them to be custom fit." Steve Nittler"The reason I'm here (the shop) Is that a friend of mine, Al Sepanski, dropped 10 strokes one month being fit by you guys. I've never seen anything like that." Mike Allen Dick Wiesner Lexi Opper, Rio Girls Team Mary Milesi Ron Lewis
1 year later: "...I've been playing real well - shot a 75! I had never shot that low, never shot in the 70's!- Everything is going staright. I am real happy and tell everyone I know. Thanks again.

Craig Moyle Cybil Bryant, Christian Brothers High School Girls golf team Cal Wong Don Breidenbach Vern Gabel, Real Estate agent and x-golf shop owner. Two weeks later, when asked about his new irons: long pause...."They were wonderful. It was a great experience - I was getting to the point where all my confidence was coming back. It especially helped knowing the lofts where about the same as my old clubs, so I knew what to expect. I have gained back 2 club lengths I had lost over the last few years. I can't wait to play more." After a Two Rivers driver re-alignment: "I think I'll have to write another letter of recommendation for you guys. I don't know what you did, but it really worked. The dispersion was tighter and the ball went furthur. I had spine aligned it the first time, but I am a complete believer in whatever you did to it, thanks" After a brand new driver: "I hit a 300 yard drive and several 260 yard drives. Some were downwind, but...I'm very happy!" Bob Schweder, Kansas City
Jesse Oxman Bob Wells Follow up call : "Hey Scott, 'wanted you to know I shot my personal best today. It’s just like you said, “golf should be fun” Well, it sure is fun at that level. Thanks again, the driver and fairway woods really helped." Coach Drawbert After finally finding the right driver: "I played 7 days in a row on my last vacation and only missed 5 fairways with this driver!"
John DeGrace, Operations Manager Arco Arena James Santos, x-professional bowler (took up golf after major hip surgery) Jacques Cormier, x-professional basketball player -soon to be golf pro...go Jacques!

Joe Peterle, x-E.C. high school principal to one of the owners of Two Rivers Golf!
