Hello all. Please bear with me. I'm brand spanking new to golf. I need to learn because a significant portion of my job requires entertaining clients, and golf seems to be the way to go. I've never picked up a club before in my life. Here's my dilemna: I'm 6'8", with a wrist to floor measurement of 40". The mediocre club fitting I recieved ( no local shops or pros) indicated I should get +1.5 clubs. I don't want to drop a ton of money on clubs when I don't know if I'll stick with it, or break them over my knee in frustration.
I have found several modestly priced sets that I can get in +1. The several hundred dollar jump up to +1.5 clubs is prohibitive.
Would I be okay learning on the cheap +1 clubs, or would it just help create and reinforce bad swing habits that will be hard to break if I stick with it and decide to upgrade to properly fitted clubs in the future?
I appreciate any input/advice. I'm a fish out of water with all of this.
