Golf club technology is constantly changing. If you aren’t up to date with the latest versions of clubs, it could prevent you from playing better golf. Searching for new golf clubs has always been troublesome because I’m left-handed. Twenty-plus years ago, when I first started playing golf, I was forced to play with senior men’s clubs because finding women’s lefty golf clubs was nearly impossible. Playing golf with the wrong clubs can make your golf game harder than it should be. And this is especially true if
you are a beginner.
My PXG Club Fitting Experience
I recently set up an online appointment with a PXG fitting specialist for a new set of clubs. It was straightforward to arrange. After making my initial appointment, I received reminders such as, bringing my current golf clubs, shoes, golf glove, and anything else I usually would use to play golf.
Having a set of golf clubs customized to my height, swing speed, and ball flight was a game-changer for me. I no longer felt that my golf clubs were a disadvantage, and I’m hitting the ball more consistently.
Whether you’re a beginner or a low-handicap player, using the right golf clubs will bring your game to the next level. A custom golf club fitting guides you to invest in golf clubs that complement your golf
swing.
I met my PXG fitting expert on the golf range at Tiburon Golf Course in Naples, Florida, the closest location to my home. David “Jake” Jacobs was outgoing and friendly, which made me feel at ease. He started by asking questions, wanting to learn more about my golf game. Next, I was asked to hit a few of my current golf clubs so he could make evaluations. Jake watched as I hit several clubs. I was nervous about making decent ball contact and appreciated his patience. While hitting, Jake observed
my launch, ball angle, and golf swing. He graciously offered much-needed tips on my setup and grip.
Next, Jake selected clubheads and shafts for me to test out. He explained that my old driver’s shaft was too long, and even though I was gripping down, with my petite height, I needed to use a driver with
a shorter shaft.
When we finished on the range, we went to the putting green, where I tried three different style putters. Again, I appreciated his efforts in making sure I was comfortable with each club that would be
going in my golf bag.
My New PXG Clubs
My new PXG clubs arrived within a couple of weeks. I anxiously unboxed them, admiring the shiny clubheads and sleek new shafts. After that, I couldn’t wait to get on the golf course and play. I know it will take several rounds of golf to feel at ease with each new club, but I’m excited about the improvement I’ve seen after just a few rounds!
I’ve come a long way from having to play golf with senior men’s clubs. Golf is a life long sport. And because of that, if you are committed to the game, I recommend treating yourself to a PXG custom fitting and getting a set of golf clubs that are made for you and your swing.

Love this and you nailed the look perfectly!
Thank you Kristen, The clothes are just as important as the game sometimes 🙂
Wow! You look fantastic! I like golf, but I’m not great at it. My brother is a PGA pro, so there’s hope for me.
Oh Maria that must be fun watching your brother play golf. Keep me posted if you continue to play the game. The love of golf is in our family too, my favorite is to play with my three sons on Mother’s Day!
I remember when I started playing golf (it was short lived) and my youngest wanted her own clubs. I bought her righty clubs not thinking that being a lefty she’d need something different. I learned quickly lol
I never realized how much was involved!! Enjoy your new clubs!
You never know haha! My daughter is left handed but golfs right, and my hubby is right handed and golf left!
Both of my twin sons are lefty and learned to play golf righty. I guess it is a matter of preference. A few professional golfers have also chosen to do the same thing. This certainly shows that you should do what works best for you.
They say a golf swing should be natural and I do believe that but if your equipment is holding you back that could be problem. For years I played with men’s clubs that were way too long for me, finding the right club length made it feel more natural and I played better 🙂
Sounds like a successful fitting! And your black outfit is just darling! Xo Nipa
Cute golf clothing is the best part of heading out on the course sometimes!
Oh my goodness your dress and golf outfits are beautiful!! Eek! I want them lol. Thanks for posting this, I really do need to get in for a golf club fitting. I’m 5’2″ and my driver and 3 wood are SO long I just know it would make a difference for me to have them sized down.
It really made a difference for me Veldene. I’m not an average size with only being 5’3″and I needed to get my golf clubs fitted to work for my height.
How interesting! I used to have several clients for Pilates that played golf and found that Pilates helped them with their game.
Yes, this is very true. I have several friends that can verify this fact. Unfortunately, I need Pilates right now Heike, I played too much golf this week and my back is sore.
