My husband loves golf.
by: Pam Ernest
My husband loves golf. Every aspect of it. Even when he has trouble falling asleep, he mentally plays a round of golf at Pebble Beach. Of course, he pars or birdies every hole. Talk about sweet dreams! So you would think starting a golfing business would be a lifelong goal of his. Not so. It was one simple, off-hand remark that changed the course of his business career.

After a lengthy time at the driving range, he came in frustrated. “I want to know EXACTLY how far I hit the ball — not guess according to the marker flags,” he groused. Finally, I made that simple, off-hand remark, “Well, why don’t you get with our engineer and come up with a solution?” And that was the birth of Ernest Sports. Eighteen months later we premiered our first product: the ES12 Launch Monitor. And we have been going strong ever since!
We’ve created logos, packing boxes, user manuals, policies, the whole 9 yards. But best of all, we have met some incredible people. The golfing industry is filled with outstanding people of character. It has been a joy to get to know some of them. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
