Stony Hill Golf Center

“This is a great system that is both a money maker for us, and is hugely popular with our golfers.”

Scott Ward, general manager of Stony Hill Custom Golf has a real passion for the game, and is one of the best club fitters that we have met. He sees club fitting as both an art and a science, and pays careful attention to a slew of details that most of us haven’t thought of. He gets you out on the range to see how all the mechanics come together, and fine tunes accordingly.

Stony Hill Custom Golf, nestled in shady Bethel, Connecticut, is a rare find for the golfer who is truly dedicated to improving their game. In addition to a friendly staff, well stocked pro-shop, excellent instruction and of course Scott’s world class club fitting, there is Power Tee to round out the perfectdriving range experience.

Scott has been a Power Tee client through two very tough Connecticut winters, and is a loyal fan. The snow stops ball picking before it stops Power
Tee, and cold temperatures haven’t slowed down the system at all. Scott shared his experience with Power Tee in the following short interview:

Has Power Tee met your expectations?

Very much so. Maintenance was something that was initially a concern for me, since anything mechanical has problems eventually. A little grease and changing tees was fine, but I didn’t want to try to fix anything. The first time one of the ball engines eventually had a problem, I took it out and dropped in a spare. They picked it up, serviced it, and sent it back to me. Two screws and a plug – that I can handle!

Is club fitting any easier with Power Tee?

Definitely. Club fitting is much faster and easier with Power Tee since the golfers aren’t slowed down and distracted by teeing up balls. That allows them to focus on what’s important.

How has Power Tee performed in the harsh Connecticut winters?

We had five and a half feet of snow and ice on top of the Power Tee hitting stations in the dead of winter, and after the thaw I put buckets of balls through all of the machines and was amazed that they started right up.

Given the chance, would you go with Power Tee again, now that you’ve had it for over a year?

Absolutely. This is a great system that is both a money maker for us, and is hugely popular with our golfers.
