I thank you for your service to our country. I am sorry to see that no one has any suggestions for you, but it is likely that none of our members live in your locale.  If you have any higher priced golf courses in the area that have a pga pro on staff, I am sure you could talk to him/her and they would get you on the right path.

All the talk of fitters usually comes down to the fitter having the newer technology that helps them "know" with certainty the characteristics of your ball flight when you hit different clubs with different shafts. Having someone stand by you and just watch you hit is highly subjective. I was able to watch myself on a launch monitor and for every ball I hit, the computer would tell me the exact:

Path of my swing

Angle of my clubface at impact

Club speed

Spin rate of the ball - backspin and sidespin

If the fitter has these things, and you can then hit the club outside where you can watch the recommended clubs actually do the job, you won't go wrong.

Once again, thanks for your service!
