Quick question for y'all.
I am new to golf (3 months/12 rounds in) and currently taking lessons about once a month. While I am still shooting between 100-110 each round, I have improved quite a bit given I couldn't even get the ball off the ground in my first lesson.
Now that I am playing and talking to my swing coach and friends about golf, I keep getting mixed advice on whether or not to get fitted for clubs. My swing coach and some of my "golf friends" are advocates of getting fit early. Others think I should wait until I get more rounds under my belt and have a better feel for my game. It is worth noting that while I trust my swing coach, he wants to fit me for the clubs for a fee.
Added context: for a cheap price, I bought a set of used Titleist AP1 irons and a Ping 3 wood to get started. I have not yet added a driver to my bag. My swing coach has told me that for irons I need 1/2-1 inch longer clubs and a different lie angle (current lie angle of 4-5, says I need to be closer to 1).
What are your thoughts? I am committed to golf and view money put into golf as well spent. At the same time, I don't want to spend unnecessarily.
Thanks everyone.
