Default New to golf

Do you mean the "New to golf" program at the Academy. I just looked it up and see it is some instruction and even a fitting. The brand of the club is not important at all. It has more to do with the shaft and loft to fit your game.

I suggest you ask who ever is helping you with your swing, especially as you are starting out and taking lessons. Your swing and speed may change dramatically in the first few weeks.

If the folks at the academy seem pricey, I would check out the guy at golf liquidators on 466 east of Morse. He will fit you with 'knock offs'. Do not dismiss knock offs when starting out .....

good luck. The only other advice I give to folks starting out is DON'T! Run now before the game wraps itself around you and you cannot stop
