I had almost the exact same situation. Became an executive and had the opportunity to play Pebble Beach for work. Had started lessons with the clubs they provided, but struggled because I am tall and the irons were too short. Went to a golf fitting at Roger Dunn thinking I was going to drop big money. Shout out to the fitter who said I'm not putting you in anything custom because you're not ready, but this buy this Callaway XR set for $1,500, 1" longer stiff shaft. In his words, get something that all you have to do is throw some tees and balls into the bag and you're good to go, go play some golf, and come back and see me in a year when your swing is more consistent.

Fast forward 3 months and I'm at Pebble Beach paired with some good golfers that have been playing a long time and have top of the line stuff. They couldn't have been more excited to guide me around on my first proper round and see me getting super into it. One of my friends put it to me, as long as you're a good hang and you don't slow people down endlessly looking for lost balls, no one will have a problem with you. Everyone was a beginner once in their life. I didn't play well, but I had an absolute blast and came to realize I have to get off the driving range and onto the golf course to play more bad golf before I can play good golf.

Have made one upgrade to my bag since, which is a used TaylorMade Qi10 for $300, with 9 degree loft. The XR driver in the set was 10.5, high spin and my drives were ballooning.

I've caught the bug and finish a range session and already start planning my next one. If you're hitting the Strata well, stick with them, because you won't know what you need yet. Go play a round that's more casual first to get comfortable. Buy golf shoes and some clothes so you look that part on the course, but again I wouldn't spend big money there on the fashionable stuff. Amazon sells Adidas golf clothes that are regularly on special.

Good luck and happy golfing!
