Default What now?
I bought clubs (no name) when I was 16 now 15 years later it's time to get serious.
I'm an alright golfer never never took a lesson, have a good swing, usually shoot mid 90's. It's always been a hobby but put no thought into the important things.
Lessons, Swing analysis, Ball Fittings, shafts, irons, drivers, putters.....OH My.

Where do I start?

Oh Hoff, you silly man. I would normally say lessons buddy, but those clubs of yours are starting to get pretty old. You do have a very nice swing, especially considering you have never taken a lesson. I would say lets start with some clubs, which come with a free fitting, and then go from there.

Start with a swing analysis. Golftec has a great starter program. They won't steer you wrong. Exciting!

I will tell you to start with talking to an instructor. What I would do is buy new stuff.

Irons. Driver. Lessons. Putter. Wedges.

That's how I'd do it.. The ball fitting though.. that's a simple click over to bridgestone's website. They'll get you sorted out.

Can you say...franchise?

I'm where Hoff was several years ago. The first thing I did then was buy new irons, then a driver, putter and so on. I'd do that now, but with some better intel. Get my swing looked at, a fitting if possible, a couple lessons. Sounds like you are catching the bug! Stick with CB, he's a good cat!

Go to a quick fitting that are generally free. No one companies clubs are going to be better for you than anothers. We just need to find you clubs that are fit for your game, that feel good to you.

My fitting a month ago cost $100. They had me on a trackman and then the pro recommended shafts and irons. Ball fitting is do something like bridgestone fitting or take a few sleeves of different balls out to the short game range/course and do you own fitting. I haven't seen your swing, but u could get lessons from a local pro relatively cheap. My first lesson which was 3 weeks ago only cost $80, but he gave me an hour and 1/2. It helps tremendously!

OH and I'm a big believer that whatever clubs you pick have to look good to your eye.... If they feel great, but every time you address the ball you think something like, "these are the ugliest things I've ever seen in my whole life" no matter how great they feel... You won't be happy.

You can also get fit for putters just like you do for irons/woods. EDELgolf.com. At my fitting I found out my Scotty Cameron was aimed 6 inches left of the hole from 6'! And I thought it was dead straight.

I'm inclined to say go with lessons first. If you're having any issues that are hurting you now and they arent equipment related, you can get that sorted out first. Then go into the fitting with minimal if any swing issues, imo making the fitting process easier.

I agree with chunky though, if it were me, I'd probably buy first ask questions later.
