I just started playing again last year, and I didn’t get a “proper” fitting, but I did the basic online static fitting. Maybe by the time I am ready for a new set of clubs in a few years I will go the full fitting route.

Buying golf clubs "off the rack" is the worst mistake any golfer can make.

 

Most of the guys I know have never been thru a club fitting.   They buy off of the rack and adjust to the club to make it work for them.   At most, they will go to demo days and swing a few stock clubs and chose the one that they hit the best.   I had tried that about 6 years ago and luckily for me, I was pretty lucky.   At least I thought I was...until

I got fitted last Monday.   Man is there really a difference in what is perceived and what really works.    I had always heard from this forum that a club shaft was important but until I tried many different ones and saw the results on Trackman,  I wasn't really convinced.   I'm a firm believer now that unless you get fitted, you are leaving a lot of yards and shots on the course.

Just reading around random threads about equipment, almost everyone says "go get a proper fitting." I've never done this. Only bought clubs straight off the rack. I don't know anyone that has ever done this. None of the guys I've ever played with have ever done it. So how many actually do? 

Yes and my kids, and it’s worth it if you get a good and proper fitting. 

Now you know three more :-)

      It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.

      I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆
