Do you have another son-in-law that you don't really like? The answer to your question IMO is lessons. Many others have mentioned why. BUT...... If you son in law is abnormally tall, or abnormally short, or has super long arms or super short legs or something like that, then at least a static fitting would be wise. Having said that, just because lessons are likely to give him more improvement than new fitted clubs, doesn't mean you shouldn't give him the gift of new fitted clubs. There will still be some benefit there, plus, going through a fitting and getting shiny new clubs is fun. ... And golf should be fun. -

Part of the clubmaker's process, in this case, is to have the player come back after a few rounds for any necessary tweaking, FWIW. -

I totally agree with this but beginners are not good players that can adjust to almost every club setup. A ping certified fitter, ex pro that plays at my home course, told me that the idea of the fitting in this case is to give the player the clubs that are at least suited for his body type in general. (body, arms, hands, strength, speed, etc) so he can go an play or have lessons with clubs that are not perfect for him but close enough. From there is up to the player to come back for another fitting in the future in case he feels his current clubs are no longer suited for his new swing/mechanics. So.. I vote basic club fitting then lessons.
