The Golf Digest online article reads…
Matching the right equipment specs to a golfer’s ability and physical characteristics is hardly new. Bobby Jones’ personal clubmaker, J. Victor East, once sorted through 5,000 pieces of hickory to find the perfect duplicate for the shaft in Jones’ driver. Today the search for the proper set of clubs is no less important, especially if you want to find an expert as exacting as Mr. East. It’s probably why one of the most common questions our equipment editors (at Golf Digest) get is, “Where should I go to get fit for clubs?”
A great place to start is this list of over 600 clubfitters. This directory includes a variety of facility types-from large retail chains to smaller golf shops to the independent fitter you might find at the range. (Some of the fitters on our list are based at private clubs. For those, please call in advance.) The clubfitters that made our 100 Best are designated with this̢?? symbol. Regardless of which fitter you choose, we’re confident you’ll find the expertise to make club buying a thoughtful process. And that’s the first step to real improvement.
To find one of the AGCP fitters please refer to our member locator pages at: http://www.agcplocator.com/ – our members are listed by state and around the world by each country. If you are not in the USA please look for our AGCP fitters in your country. Any of them will do a great job for you.
