You all will have to forgive me but I am still trying to get a level that I am comfortable with. I have played more golf this summer than I have played in the last 6 years/summers. This is mainly due to my weight loss and feeling better. I love playing the game but I had no idea it was a technical as it is. I guess maybe I should have done more reading and learning. With that being said, here is my question....why would I not want to be fitted with clubs that I can learn to swing correctly? that I can grow with? I don't have a great swing obvioously and not as good as some of you. I don't think however that it is a train wreck. This may be a dumb question for some of you but I would appreciate the responses.

I don't think the issue is to be fitted with clubs you can learn to swing correctly. No two golf swings are alike and the reason I wouldn't advice getting fitted is not tied into the quality of your golf swing more to the fact that your swing might change a bit. A fitting done rights will fit the clubs to match your current swing (i.e. get the most out of your current swing), if you then take a number of lessons and end up changing things in your swing (even minor ones), the fitting done previously may no longer match you swing. I am speaking from experience, having done this myself. Note I am not talking about a simple fitting, i.e. one that only looks at shaft length etc, but a proper one.

Anyway just my two cents, but I have made the mistake of doing this myself.
