If you haven't been welcomed yet, let me welcome you to the Sand Trap!

I'm not sure what you mean by a Golf Show, some courses and clubs have a demo day where one or more manufacturers set up areas where people can try out clubs.  I've been to demo days where they will do a fitting there, but in most cases if it's really crowded they won't.

The demo days are a great place to try out different clubs and get a feel for what might be best for you after speaking to some of the reps.  At some events the manufacturer or sponsoring club will offer coupons or discounts if you purchase clubs within a certain period of time.

You can also pay for a fitting at a local store and order your clubs online.  You can usually find discounts on Callaway, Cobra, TM, Adams and Nike.  Ping, Titleist and Mizuno have major restrictions on discounting so if you see big discounts on those manufacturers the site is probably selling fakes.

I'd also suggest you consider pre-owned clubs.  You can get a set of last years X-Hots, SpeedBlades, or CellFusion at 50% or more what they cost new.

    • Yes, but not always the case. IMHO, green speeds are a huge variable and can effect score variation from week to week or month to month significantly. Our own course that is running at about 8-9 depending on the week/day, can run up to 12 (no kidding) in peak months around certain event, and most like me score 3-4 shots higher on an average, missing a lot of 3-4 footers. There are any PCC adjustments that I am aware of. Have you every played their course? I am betting $20 you will find some answers if you haven't already.

    • I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.
    • With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.
    • So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.
