My experience is that at any given retailer, you might get a good, knowledgeable club fitter that knows what he is doing, or you might not. It really is dependent on the individual store and the staff they have. I can not speak for Golfsmith, but I do know we have trained a lot of the staff in Golf Galaxy locations over the years and would be more confident telling you to seek out a golf professional in one of the Golf Galaxy locations. We worked with Golf Galaxy to create the fitting program they use, which has a lot of the elements that Ralph developed many years ago and became the standard for the club fitting process.
