It wouldn&#8217;t be fair to keep such a joyous occasion to myself. I need to tell everyone about the next step in my golfing life.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I&#8217;m finally putting down my off-the-shelf clubs (the same set I&#8217;ve been playing with since I took up the game), and getting myself fitted for a new set!<\/p>\n<p>Once again, I have my wife to thank. For the umpteenth time, via the benefits of her place of employment, she has come through with something to benefit me. You see, I&#8217;ve mentioned previously that she works for a company that manages or owns several golf courses throughout the state. So I&#8217;ll be headed to their top course to meet up with the pro who will promptly measure me up! It&#8217;s a combination Fathers Day\/Birthday gift&#8230;and a damn good one at that!<\/p>\n<p>Now, as excited as I am for this, I also have no idea what to expect or what to look for. I&#8217;m sure the pro is going to help me understand those things, but it&#8217;s still a funny feeling. So I have a few questions with which some of you in the golf blogosphere may be able to help me out?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1. What exactly am I looking for? What I mean by this is, how do I want to feel with these clubs in hand? Should I feel like I&#8217;m holding something as light as a feather or something of significant mass? Should I feel like I&#8217;m holding anything at all or should I feel as if it&#8217;s simply an extension of my arms?<\/p>\n<p>2. In my club shopping, swinging and testing-out of clubs, I&#8217;ve become a bit partial to a brand or two. But what happens if I&#8217;ve tried out a few and decide on one, but once it&#8217;s custom fit to my specs, I no longer like the feel of it? Is there a possibility of that happening? One would have to think so. It&#8217;s like if I was to test-drive a new car, decide I like it, and have something on it customized. Then, once I get it out on the road, it feels different due to the customization and I don&#8217;t like it as much. Has anyone ever heard of this happening or experienced it for themselves?<\/p>\n<p>3. Is it worth it to do this at all? I mean, I&#8217;m getting a relatively large break on the cost of all of this, but it&#8217;s still not going to be cheap. Is a nice set of custom-fit clubs that much better than a nice set of off-the-shelf clubs? Especially considering I&#8217;m a stinky golfer? It&#8217;s something to think about.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Keep in mind, if not for my wife&#8217;s connection, this is something I likely would never do. I honestly never really cared about getting custom-fit clubs. As a matter of fact, I find it quite humorous that so many people who are not professional players, and never will be, spend the money to do this. So for a player of my caliber&#8230;I find it to be absolutely absurd!<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I don&#8217;t understand it because I don&#8217;t take the game as seriously as many others do. Now don&#8217;t take that statement the wrong way. I very much enjoy playing the game. I also very much enjoy playing softball every Tuesday night, but I&#8217;m not about to go spend several hundred dollars on a custom bat, or have a custom glove tailored to my hand! So why do it for golf?<\/p>\n<p>Well, the answer is, I wouldn&#8217;t. But I have the chance to do it now for less than what I was planning on paying for a nice set of off-the-shelf clubs. So that puts me in a different position. I would almost be foolish to NOT do this, right?<\/p>\n<p>So next weekend holds the big day. Provided I can find a bit of free time, I&#8217;ll be in the pro shop, likely asking these same questions. If anyone can give me any insight before going in, it would be very much appreciated!<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, give me some time with the new clubs and give me a chance to see how much difference they make and if they are, in fact, worth it. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll then follow up with my verdict.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m approaching a very special time in the career of a golfer, and I want to share it with everyone.
