You will never conquer golf.
There are solid arguments on both side of this fence. IMO it is always helpful if someone with the proper experience can see you perform and then give the proper advice about whether a fitting is worthwhile or not. If someone has not developed at least a decent constant swing with a 6 iron, a fitting might be challenging.
Don't see a problem with a somewhat of a newby getting fitted as long as they are wise about it. I think getting fitted too early can be problematic. One could go to club champion and only get the iron fitting and make sure you get the data. You could then return, study the data, and get on the hunt for a used set of clubs that won't set you back so much.
Go out and play some and see what happens. As you progress you can move up as needed. If you have someone that is experienced and knowledgeable that can work with you, you may not need to get fitted as they could help you find a decent set of used clubs to get you on your journey. Experience goes a long ways in golf.
I do find a lot of guys are not playing clubs that are best suited for them. You see guys on the course with narrow small faced irons splaying the ball all over the place when a GI iron, or better fitted club, would much better suite them at their stage in golf.
There are also some that get fitted and it doesn't help at all because they cannot repeat a decent swing enough to hit well. For example a golfing buddy of mine got fitted this year and nothing has really changed for him. His game has not improved at all, but it is because he needs to work on his swing and develop better ball striking.
