Our journey began in 2013 when I met Josh and Austin, working as the Assistant Golf Professional at Heatherwoode Golf Club in Ohio. Their commitment to getting better at golf was noticeable at an early age. As young, up-and-coming golfers on the local high school scene, I was excited to see what they would achieve. Boy, was I right. Both had successful high school and college golfing careers. Fast forward ten years, and I approached Austin and Josh about creating Swingcrafters without hesitation, and they agreed. We are committed to providing a golfing destination from which golfers of all ages can benefit.

Anthony is a passionate golfer who found success as a junior golfer in West Virginia. Starting his golfing journey in 1998, Anthony’s dedication and skill propelled him to excel in the sport. 

In 2010, he moved to Ohio, where he later joined Heatherwoode Golf Club as the Assistant Golf Professional and further enriched his golfing expertise. 

Inspired by his love for the game and the desire to create a united community, Anthony founded swingcrafters.com. Anthony will serve as the low to middle handicap player for our independent golf gear reviews
