gocchin Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Heres a post I did from our golftoimpress.com blog featuring our visit at Gold's Factory. 36 pictures in all that give you a brief impression of our cool visit. CHECK OUT THE REST OF THE PHOTOS HERE! Tourspecgolfer posted up parts ONE & TWO of the Gold's Factory Interview as well as the video he took while we visiting Master Sasaya in his workshop. While TSGolfer was busy taking videos, I had a chance to photo document our visit and here it is for your viewing pleasure! We only had the morning at the shop but learned a lot about how much work is put into hand made and crafted clubs and watched the master in action. Gold's Factory is located in Itabashi, in Tokyo. We took a 10 minute JR train from Shinjuku to JuJo on the Saikyo Line. (I took Chuo to Shinjuku) Jujo is a typical smaller scale Japan Rail Station with two main enterances and exits. The West Exit is the main rotary where cars and buses drive into. Master Sasaya picked us up here. Itabashi is one of Tokyo's 23 Wards and is rather densely populated like most of Tokyo. There are some pretty tight spots for driving and walking. Gold's Factory is tucked away in the Nakajuku block of Itabashi. The workshop is a cozy size with all the tools of the trade needed to produce hand made clubs. Master Sasaya was kind enough to spend the morning with us explaining his machines and techniques. We talked about golf club designs especially putters, wedges and irons of course! CHECK OUT THE REST OF THE PHOTOS HERE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
