About David O'Leary
Club-repair craft stretching back to the early 1980s.
David began in the golf industry restoring persimmon and laminated wooden-headed clubs by hand. He sanded and re-stained woods, applied new lacquer and binding, refitted inlays and sole plates, sandblasted iron faces, repainted sole numbers, regripped clubs, and restored hickory-shafted irons and woods for display.
Reshafting was exacting work then: stainless pins had to be found, tapped out, refitted, and hand-filed until the repair looked new. Those early skills still guide his work today, even as the industry has moved through computer fitting, metal woods, titanium heads, graphite shafts, and adjustable components.
David keeps learning as club technology changes, while bringing the same care and pride to every repair, alteration, and restoration completed in his Craigmore workshop.
“I love repairing and altering golf clubs. It’s a great skill I’m proud to offer my customers.”

Repair guide
Useful repair advice before you replace a club.
When grips need replacing
Smooth, shiny, cracked, hard, or slippery grips make the hands work harder. Regular golfers often benefit from fresh grips every season, while occasional golfers should replace them when tack and texture fade.
What reshafting can fix
A damaged shaft is the obvious case, but reshafting can also help when a club feels too heavy, launches too low or high, or no longer matches the rest of the set.
Why loft and lie matter
Loft affects launch and distance gaps. Lie angle affects start direction and turf interaction. Used clubs, bent irons, and mixed sets are worth checking before blaming the swing.
Length, swing weight, and feel
Small changes in length, grip weight, shaft weight, and head weight can change how a club feels through the swing. Matching feel across a set makes practice and play easier.
