Gulf Winds manager honored

Danny Torbush, Gulf Winds Golf Course manager, was named as a Top 100 Mizuno USA Fitter recently.

A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Torbush came to NASCC just three years ago from Virginia.

“I’ve been with Mizuno as a brand ambassador for several years. Mizuno has taught me how to custom fit their golf equipment and how each product works best.”

Torbush said he has outfitted well over 200 golf players to custom equipment and that it takes more than putting a new club in someone’s hand.

“Everyone has a different body type, a different swing,” he said. “As a player, you want to have clubs that fit to your swing, and there really is a science behind that.”

Besides the personal honor for Torbush, Gulf Winds is featured on the Mizuno website identifying the golf course as having a Top 100 Fitter available, which can lead to more golfers playing there and more recognition for the air station’s greens.

“The recognition is definitely for Gulf Winds and everyone that works here,” Torbush said. “It takes a staff really working together to continuously maintain and improve the product for our customers.”

Torbush also added that despite the damage and lost time from Hurricane Harvey last year, and a colder than usual winter, the course is running smoothly and he continues to add more tournaments to the calendar.
