Some Goldwin Golf History

The story of GOLDWIN began in 1951 when Tsuzawa Knit Fabric Manufacturer was established in Oyabe City in western Toyama and began its journey as a sportswear manufacturer.

In 1963, the company name was changed to GOLDWIN Inc.

In 1964, GOLDWIN’s athletic wear was selected as competition uniforms for the Tokyo Summer Olympics. The uniforms were worn by 80% of Japan’s gold medalists in sports ranging from gymnastics to volleyball to wrestling.

Following the Olympics, GOLDWIN began collaborating with major global brands, including Ellesse, Champion, The North Face, Helly Hansen, and Speedo, and established itself as a leading athletic gear manufacturer in Japan.

GOLDWIN’s founder, Tosaku Nishida, was born in Nishitonami County, Toyama. The youngest of eight siblings in a farming family, Tosaku lost both his eldest and third oldest brothers to World War II. After his second oldest brother left home, the responsibility of providing for the remaining members of the family fell to Tosaku.

Everyone struggled to survive back then. Because he had experience working at a textile mill and his brother-in-law was an engineer at a knit fabric company in Tokyo, Tosaku decided to start a knit fabric factory himself.

The business was established in 1950 in what was then Tsuzawa town (the present Oyabe City). Its incorporation the following year as Tsuzawa Knit Fabric Co., Ltd. marked the beginning of the company now known as GOLDWIN.

Headed by Tosaku’s brother-in-law, who had been injured during the war, the factory employed some 20 workers consisting of knit fabric makers, women in the family who had lost their husbands in the war, and other women from the neighborhood who needed to bring money to their families. Working in a 130 m² factory, they began making socks, belly bands, vests, and sweaters. Literally, it was a start from scratch.

This family-like, warm atmosphere is very much alive in GOLDWIN’s corporate culture today.

REVIEW: "These clubs are a great secret for some. Just like a premium pre-certified car. What is engineered in will be there whenever you use them. They were definitely ahead of their time.

I have a set and went back to them from Big Bertha 2004's. Bought a set of Big Bertha 2006's but they are still in the box because I like my Goldwins so much."
