I’m a beginner golfer. My friend gave me his set of Pings. He’s a couple of inches shorter than me and the clubs were fitted for him. Does it really make any difference for a beginner golfer whether the clubs are a good fit? The higher irons feel pretty short. But maybe that’s how 8s and 9s are supposed to feel. Any input will be appreciated.

@Jim Huck - You've got a couple of good responses here. It is likely that your friend's club shafts were not shortened, though the lie angles may have been adjusted to accommodate his body features and his swing. If you follow the setup lessons in the school and get yourself into the prescribed posture (i.e.: your knees over your laces, your butt pushed out, your arms hanging nearly vertical from the shoulders, your hands under your chin, etc.), then the clubface should be slightly toe-up when you address the ball. If it is very much toe up or it is noticeably toe-down, then you may wish to have the lie angles tweaked to conform to your body features as a severely misfit club could hinder your progress. Just my 2 cents....
