Should I get a custom fitting?

I'm a very high handicapper. Still some topping, thinning and taking 4 to get out of a bunker.

Ive played for the last three summers as I work in a school so have the time off to do so but have fallen away from September to the following April or so meaning I lose any progress.

I plan to stick at it now though as Id like to improve.

I'm using my brother's old clubs that he used as a 16 year old. They are Dunlop 65's.

Would I benefit from getting a custom fitting and looking for new clubs or is it far too early for that?

Have you gone for lessons? If not they are your starting point.

I don't know what the clubs are like tbh. If the clubs were really not suitable, you could pick something up for €500 on adverts that would do.

Custom fitting is expensive and is worth it once you get a reasonable base. Until you've made some reasonable progress in your game, you'd be better-served spending on a program of lessons with a good pro.

Something that won't cost a penny is learning better course management. On YouTube there's a good channel called golf sidekick. No swing or technical stuff just simple strategy to break 100, 90 etc.

Another one is called not a scratch golfer. He's got a very non traditional swing but still shoots low 80s and often in 70s without being a long hitter.

I would get a few lessons. Then get a decent second hand set say for €500. Then upgrade as you go along or once you stick with it. There's adverts.ie, Club house golf and theres a shop in Celebridge that sells second hand clubs "The Golf Studio" Think they have new sets too that are old models but main thing is they have a range as far as I know so you can try out before you buy.

But I would definitely upgrade on the Dunlops. No offence but there scrap 😂
