Mammoth Golf and mammothgolf.com - A Tradition of Innovation! HistoryMammoth golf has a storied heritage dating back to 1992 when Bill and Stephanie Albright purchased the operations of Ted Sheftic Custom Clubs, headquartered in New Oxford, Pennsylvania. Ted, (who is still affiliated with Mammoth) was a renowned golf club designer as well as one of America's top teaching professionals and had developed several cutting edge concepts such as a closed face metalwood system that reduced slices (the "Hooky") as well as clubs that could be "private labeled via a pressure stamping system. The Albright's were impressed with the regional operation and renamed the business "Mammoth Golf" representing not only the new oversize club technologies that the company was developing at the time but also for "big ideas" that were going to drive the business forward. For the next several years, Mammoth was well known for the high tech golf equipment that it produced and sold to Pro Shops and retail stores throughout the United States and Canada. In addition to clubhead technology, Mammoth Golf was a leader in high performance frequency matched graphite shaft designs. Several of the Company's original 1990s inventions and trademarks are still in circulation today such as "Slingshot," "Mastodon" and "Senior Advantage". 
In the mid 1990s, the company moved from PA to Jessup, MD into a building that the Albright's had previously operated as a successful beverage distribution business. The enterprise continued to branch into new sales channels as Mammoth developed a wholesale catalog business in which components were sold to club makers, in addition to finished sets of clubs. Chris Thompson joined the Mammoth Team in 1996 and the business opened its first retail store out of the same Jessup warehouse that housed the club making and catalog sales operations. For the next 6 years, the Mammoth Golf Jessup retail store continued to grow and build its reputation by providing technological expertise and a strong commitment to customer service. In early 2003, Mammoth relocated the Superstore to one of the nation's busiest retail centers in the heart of Howard County at Columbia Crossing II, adjacent to the EXPO Design Center.
