Golfsmith International, L.P.
 PROFILE
You might not be so quick to wrap that 5-iron around a tree if you'd made it yourself. Golfsmith International began in 1967 as a mail-order seller of custom-made golf clubs, and it still teaches golfers how to craft their own irons, woods, and putters. The company sells its products through its catalog, Web site, and about 30 golf superstores in the US and Canada. The company's stores -- averaging about 25,000 sq. ft. -- sell private-label and brand-name golf equipment, accessories, and related paraphernalia and offer such services as swing analysis. Golfsmith also operates the Harvey Penick Golf Academy. Founder Carl Paul and his brother, Frank, own the company.
