Many students decide to get serious about their golf game and in their planning they decide to A. Attend golf school B. Get new golf clubs C. Get fit for golf
We’re often asked by students, “should I buy new clubs before or after golf school?”
Our recommendation is to wait until you attend golf school, almost all top schools offer professional, certified, clubfitting services, usually at no charge. Take advantage of this service and get your custom fitting specifications while at golf school. Some schools offer discounts if you purchase clubs from them, others just provide you specifications that you can use to make your own purchase after you get home. Either way, you’ll have a new swing to go with new clubs as you begin your path to improvement.
