Chad Popovich (Club Fitter) was raised in Utica, Michigan. He got his start in the golf world as a caddy at the age of 13. He worked his way up to become the Assistant Pro at Great Oaks Country Club in Rochester, Michigan. He relocated to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina in 2001. During the next few years he became the Assistant Pro at Belfair Golf Club in Bluffton, South Carolina where he was able to pursue his passion for golf club repair and fitting. After 2 years his hard work opened the door for Chad to become the full-time club fitter for the Belfair 30 acre Learning Center in 2003.

Chad began fitting clubs for students from IJGA in 2008. The students would come to the Learning Center for their fitting. In June of 2011, IJGA was greatly improved by hiring Chad on a fulltime basis. Having him based fulltime at Pinecrest, the IJGA practice , it allows him to work with students on a daily basis. He is a certified custom clubfitter for Cobra, Mizuno, Ping, Taylor Made, and Titleist fitting systems. He has worked with and fit players of all levels from PGA, Nationwide, LPGA, Collegiate, Club Professionals to everyday golfers.
