Eric Granata
I started working in the golf business in 1988, I was 14 about to be 15, I did it for the free golf. I still love the game today as much as I did back then. I have done everything from being a bag /cart kid to Head Golf Professional and General Manager of a club. I have run retail golf shops and been a sales rep, I have hosted demo days and fit thousands of players into clubs. This game has allowed me to meet some amazing people and create relationships that have lasted.
Today I spend most of my time teaching and playing this game we all love (still a +1 handicap). Like most of you I am continually trying to get better and always curious about the latest and greatest new product. I have a passion for helping others get better and enjoy the game of golf. Knowledge is useless unless you do something with it. I know I can help you get better with the knowledge I have.

Michael A's experience with Eric
Eric Granata is awesome! After being away from the game for the better part of 15 years, Eric helped me navigate a golf world of new clubs and balls. He made the process fun. I gave Eric my background and he gave me recommendations. I hit demos, gave him the info plus a budget; he fixed me up with equipment that was comfortable and great for my comeback to playing.
The time and effort was one thing but Eric has stayed in touch to check on my progress.
The whole Curated experience has been amazing and he made it so simple. Knowledge, attention to detail and just a love of golf! Thanks, Eric.

Eric is tops
Eric is tops because not only does he know the product he knows the curated processes. While there was a manufacturer issue with initial order Eric jumped in and made alternate suggestions to satisfy my need. Not only did he make the suggestions, he navigated the systems behind the scenes to get an alternate product added to the catalog for purchase.

Couldn’t have asked for a better representative from Curated. Eric was diligent and persistent in a way that helped me to actually follow through on something I have wanted to do for a while.
Eric texted me back and forth through every stage of the purchase, even when I was testing the clubs out in a store. He responded quickly; even on the weekend. Very knowledgeable about the equipment and gave unbiased opinions. He made several videos showing me different gear and the pros and cons of each club. He learned about my golf game like where my miss hits go and helped pick clubs based on data I reported. Very thankful for his help, and I hope his efforts don’t go unnoticed. Here’s to lowering my handicap!

Great Experience!
Eric is very knowledgeable and helped me through a lot of indecisiveness. He also took into consideration of my shoulder injury and any aspects of improvement in your play. I have been looking to get a full set of clubs for some time now and Eric was helpful every step of the way. I am looking forward to swinging my new clubs!

Solid Cat!
Eric brought me up to date on my golf club knowledge. I’ve been swinging King Cobras for many, many years. He enlightened me on how the technology has changed. I opted for a set of Callaway clubs after a bunch of hemming and hawing. He offered great recommendations and suggestions for helping me to come to my decision. I cannot wait to swing my new sticks…and attack every pin with confidence. Nothing but pars and birdies in my future. 😀

Very happy with purchase.
New golfer. Was looking for a solid starter set that wouldnt break the bank but one I could use for a while. Eric was very knowledgeable and gave me multiple options at different price points. He shared the pros and cons of each set. Very easy to talk to and very friendly. He also answered me within a minute or two at most. Super happy with my purchase and with customer service.

Eric was amazing!!
Shopping for any golf club if hard for me because of the numerous options in the market. Eric really helped narrow down my options. I was impressed with the level of details in his questions and I felt like he was really trying to understand my game. This was proven in his recommendation video. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Eric!

Kevin's experience with Eric
I've had trouble figuring out when to pull out a wedge and which one to play. Eric simplified and broke down wedge play, including a few coaching tips. He presented me with multiple options and gave me all the information needed about the options. I appreciate people like Eric. In order to be a great teacher, it's not about what the teacher/expert knows, but rather explaining what they know to their customers/students.

Eric was helpful and patient, he was great, taking my age and my handicap in consideration to help me with my golf game, cause I'm not very good but I love the game and spending time playing with my 2 sons.i just want to get better.
What do you want me to say, he was helpful and took everything about me in consideration when telling me what would help me moving forward. I've had cancer and I've had shoulder replacement. I appreciate his time and patience with me.
