2007 - from PGA website
Belfry-based
Jonathan Watts became the latest in a long line of assistants
from the Ryder Cup venue to secure a podium finish claiming
third spot but has plenty more strings to his bow having
already discovered a niche as the custom fitting expert for TaylorMade
at the Belfrys PGA National Academy.
In
addition to matching up golfers with the correct clubs, Watts
delivers a monthly verdict on the latest clubs hitting the shelves
with one countrys leading golf magazines.
Watts
plays down the role, even though its apparent what he has
to say matters.

I
just tell them what I think, said the 26-year-old. Its
a great thing to do and it has certainly raised my profile. People
come in and say they have read what Ive had to say. I dont
favour anyone I just tell it how it is. I enjoy doing it because
it gives me the chance to see what else is out there because Im
usually dealing with clubs at the top end of the market but this
way I try out the mid-range and cheaper clubs.
