Recipient of New Award: 2006-2007
Top Ten Worldwide Clubmaker of the Year

Mike Moynahan, golf clubmaker and owner of Kama’aina Clubmakers in Upcountry Maui, was recently named 2006-2007 Top Ten Worldwide Clubmaker of the Year by the Golf Clubmakers Association (GCA). This makes the third year in a row that Moynahan has been selected as the GCA Hawaii Clubmaker of Year. The GCA receives hundreds of nominations from around the world for the prestigious overall Clubmaker of the Year award—this award is judged by a panel consisting of several GCA officials and other golf clubmaking experts. This year they selected winners from each state (U.S.), province (Canada) and country (International) who exemplify the overall best qualities of golf club repair, club fitting and community work.

“All of the 2006-2007 GCA award winners should be proud because they have received what many consider to be some of the clubmaking industry’s highest honors, said Golfsmith R & D vice president, Jeff Sheets, who served on the panel of judges. “This award recognizes Mr. Moynahan’s ability, integrity and professionalism.”
