Clubs fitted, or lesson?

[supermarvin76]

I have been golfing for one year. My last two rounds of 9 holes were 54, and 51 at two seperate courses.

Would it be recommended for me to take a few lessons, or get my current set of clubs fit to me? I am playing Callaway X22 irons, and a Callaway FT-iQ driver.

My theory is, if you have a good golf swing then you can hit anything. Most likely you will be using game improvement irons for a while, when you feel like they don't give you the feel or workability you like then go to player irons.

Now, fitting for a driver and putter, thats something you can do now. Your swing speed wont likely change, and you can get a driver to fit that to maximize your distance.

But i would work on the swing more.

I know more bad golfers that play really nice clubs than I do good golfers that play really nice clubs... Get the lessons...

Never ask that question here unless you are prepared to have 90% tell you to take lessons.

The answer is C. (Both A and B)

Get some lessons, and practice after you take them. Was talking to the pro at a local course, and he says half the lessons he gives are the same one he gave the student 6 weeks ago, but the student didn't practice.

And, get a static fitting (plus lie board check) to make sure the length and lie of your clubs match your height and stance. If your clubs are too flat you'll tend to miss right, if too upright you'll tend to miss left.

Note: X22 irons don't bend very well from what I hear, if lie adjustments are needed.

+1, it's like should I exercise or improve my diet to lose weight.  One might work okay, but both will work even better.  I'd get the lessons first, establish a swing that works for you then get the clubs fitted to your new and improved swing.
