Hi all,

This is my first post in the GM Forum and have read some great post already.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a good place within Somerset, Devon or Dorset to get a proper club fitting and possibly the golf ball too. I've been warned by many people to stay away from "American Golf" although I love the place.

My handicap is coming down well this year and next summer I want a fitted set so I've no excuses in my single figure quest ;).

I like Mizuno,Nike and Titleist but its the performance and feel which is more a factor for me (as long as they aren't to ugly!)

Any advice would be great.

Regards,

Magpie.

Tony Valentine's in Corsham (Between Bath and Chippenham) has a great selection of clubs and is a Mizuno fitting centre. They stock most brands so you should be able to find something if you are close.

If I was down your neck of the woods I'd go and see Mark Crossfield.

On the AG thing, I had a fitting there for a driver last year and had another fitting at my local pro and the difference was amazing. AG seem to do a billy basic job of it compared to the in depth fitting I got with my local pro.

I'd have said the same about Crossfield. Got to be worth a punt

Does anyone know how much he charges for lesson/fitting? I've looked online but had no joy on the prices.

The AG basic fitting is something I want to avoid as they are only going to try and sell you what is better for them in some cases, obviously not all salesmen are the same though. :D

I believe he would do a 2 hour lesson for a newcomer at around £150.
A second lesson is £60 per hour.

He has all the gadgets and gizmos to do a major fitting,if your serious imo its money
well spent.
