    Just wanted to get some opinion's on this. I am a high handicap player and usually shoot in the low 100's. Should I take golf lessons or get fitted for irons first? Or both. I'm concerned that getting fit won't benefit me if I can't repeat my swing consistently. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Sean Mac, obviously both! If you contact a PGA Professional serious and responsible, the first thing he will do is a fitting of your entire bag. Otherwise it would not be possible to show a consistent swing that allows you to lower the 100, 90 and 80 strokes. The PGA Professional to work with you to find your natural swing, the most reliable and repetitive swing that can remain intact under pressure. For that reason, will be the equipment that must adapt to your swing and not vice versa. Remember, Better Fit. Better Game. Titleist club fitting for yourself.

    If you want to shoot lower scores, then doing both would be the way to go. You'll definitely see much more consistency in your game.

    I would have to disagree. I recommend you go for some lessons first to get your consistency up to make the most of the fitting experience - unless your clubs are extremely / noticeably wrong for you ( ie too long, too short etc) in which case you wouldn't be playing with them anyway and you wouldn't need a fitter to tell you that. I think a balance is definitely required since a successful fitting would be based off a consistent swing trait. How about a compromise for now - invest in some lessons but at the same time, go to a big box store and get an on the spot fitting (usually free) using a lie board etc to see whether you need to grip down or make other minor adjustments to your swing and clubs. At least you can take this knowledge to your lessons and instructor. If a dramatic change is required on your current clubs then you will know that you shouldn't even consider swinging them whether it be a lesson or practice or on the course. Also, check for Titleist demo days near you under the 'events' list in the Fitting Network of this website.

    This might the best piece of advice I have ever seen.
