I’ve been fitted by a PXG fitter and CC fitter. PXG came first and in the beginning I hit the driver well. I was coming off Callaway Rouges which I liked but was told getting fitted was the only way to go and honestly it made sense. I also use to shoot trap. Getting the right stock, trigger etc is so important so it followed golf is the same. I liked the PXG fitter but after a few months and his tweaks I hated the driver and 3 wood. I also hatted the putter. So, I went to CC - I was fitted into a Ping G430 with Aldilà Ascent Red 50 regular shaft. It’s made a world of difference. Almost night and day ~ the fitter was young so when I went back I booked with a more experience fitter for putter. Ended up with a seemore and the jury is still out but I’ve only had it a week so it will take time. I just went back for wedges and got a 52 and 58 Callaway ~ I never felt pressure to buy. I always felt it was agnostic ~ I’m a numbers guy ~ I hit a lot of shots with different heads, shafts, lofts et al. I compared the data and the recommendations made sense ~ I just read a book by Tommy Armour “How to play your best golf all the time”. Great book by the way. Chapter 5 ‘How your clubs can help you’ He states “Properly fitted clubs are the only part of improved golf that anyone can buy”. I believe it will help my game but practice, instruction and playing helps to strengthen my skills.

I lived in Scottsdale for a while. The 7th hole of (Mesquite) course at Kierland Golf Club. I could hear the music from the carts as they approached the green. The music was obnoxious and loud. It drove me nuts. Just like most folks here I love music ~ I have too many streaming services, satellite radio and here I sit listening to some quite Saturday morning tunes but when I tee off at 3 today there will be the sound of drivers, sunk putts laughter and cigars being lit. When paired with someone who asks if they can play music and they are in my cart the answer is no. If they are walking or in another cart the answer is fine but low. Honestly the people I’ve met who do ask are respectful. Golf is a game played with others so respect of others is important.
