Made in the USA Golf Clubs.

Elmore Just founded Louisville Golf in 1974. The Kentucky-based company quickly became the industry's leader in the design and production of Persimmon golf clubs. Just, joined by his four brothers (Ron, Mike, Robert, Gerard), invested heavily in research and development to improve the quality of Persimmon wood used in golf club heads and published a book entitled The Persimmon Storypromoting the Persimmon species' unique qualities for golf.
Persimmon Golf Clubs

Persimmon's physical properties make it ideal for golf clubs. It weighs 52 pounds per cubic foot and its relative hardness, measured by the rebound characteristic modulus of elasticity, is superior to other woods. Persimmon cushions little at impact, allowing the wood to maximize energy transference to the ball. Elmore once said: Persimmon is nature's gift to the game of golf. Its performance value is eternal.
In the 1980s Louisville Golf manufactured Persimmon heads for some of the golf industry's most respected companies: Hogan, Wilson, Spalding, Tommy Armour and Ram to name just a few. When many wooden golf club manufacturing plants closed due to increasing production costs, with metal woods being cast overseas, Louisville Golf found a niche for its handmade Persimmon woods and custom hardwood putters in the 1990s introducing the SMART Oversized Persimmon driver (the first of its kind) and the NIBLICK Persimmon fairway woods (a design that today carries a money-back guarantee).
Presently Louisville Golf makes some of the finest Persimmon woods ever offered, keeping the tradition alive for golfers who have experienced the pleasure of hitting a wood golf club and want to pass that on to a generation that largely has never experienced the satisfaction and sound of a well-struck Persimmon wood.
Persimmon is still relevant because the clubs we make are still as effective as anything made of metal for most golfers, said Mike Just, Louisville Golf's president. We have the customers to prove it, they enjoy the game more with our clubs. We think it is important to the game and to the golfers who play it to keep the traditions of wood golf clubs going.
We see it as our mission to keep wood golf clubs in play.
Hickory Golf Clubs

With this mission of keeping the game's wood golf club-making tradition active, Louisville Golf has included Hickory-shafted golf clubs in its product line. Being uniquely qualified to build Hickory-shafted golf clubs, Louisville Golf first offered Hickory-shafted golf clubs for players in the National Hickory Championship. Original clubs from that period were too expensive to play, and Louisville Golf was asked to provide replica equipment for participants.
As more players began playing golf with hickory-shafted golf clubs, Louisville Golf expanded its line to make a wider variety of clubs available. Today the E. Just & Bros. line of Hickory-shafted clubs offers a full complement of hickory-shafted woods, irons and putter models from the Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones era of golf.
Keeping these traditions in play, and honoring the spirit of the game, is what Louisville Golf is all about.

The following is a reply from Louisville Golf to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
