Sac State alumnus Shawn Kassel is making his degree in business finance worth all of the time and effort that five years of college requires.

Kassel, 24, a 2000 graduate of Sac State, is president of Diamondhead Golf Club Manufacturing, and has just expanded the business that he runs with his grandfather, Al Wagner.

The company has been a long-standing pillar in Rancho Cordova and is now moving west and deeper into the heart of Sacramento. Diamondhead, who is the only company in Sacramento to customize golf clubs with the Achiever laser analyzer, has taken over the old Family Golf Center driving range near Sac State?s campus.

The laser analyzes each golfer?s swing to help fit the club to the individual, based off of spin, trajectory and distance.

“We would love to have students from Sac State come down and try things out,” Kassel said. “We are right by the campus so it is very easy for students to get here.”

Being that the range is not off of a major street, for those trying to find it when coming off of 65th St. South, make a left on San Joaquin St., and then left on Redding Ave.

Kassel has also made an offer to all students at Sac State to mention this article and you will receive a free bucket of balls, limit one to each customer.
