Thankfully as a kid my grandpa and I made friends with a guy who was a club fitter and ran the shop at the driving range. I guess we bought enough clubs from him and hit enough balls
I had just gotten a new driver for christmas from my dad and took it to a different range w/ grandpa within a week (2 level range with heaters). I guess the mat was shifted a little to the right and as a lefty I swing and in the follow through the driver slams into a steel beam flanking the hitting bay. Took big chunk out of the top of the driver.
Fitter swapped out the club at no cost! Most of my other “repairs” cost a little more
