My friends who are newlyweds want to start playing golf but don't have any equipment. The guy is about 5'9" and the girl is even at 5'. I think I can find a decent set for the guy but the girl is on the short side so I have no clue. They aren't looking to spend a lot of money since getting married costs a hefty amount lately. Any suggestions on what to do?

For an inexpensive entry level set, you might take a look at Target, even online. They could both get outfitted for less than $400-500 depending. Unless they want to go used...

You are going to laugh at me, but if you go to Big 5 Sports or even Wal-Mart you can buy a full set of clubs with a good stand bag for $150. There are lots of different kits out there. My set (John Daly Gold) included a driver, 3-wood, 3 and 4 hybrid, and 5-PW irons, headcovers, as well as the stand bag. They fit my 5'11" frame perfectly and are excellent quality for the money.

I hate buying stuff that I know is Made In China but I couldn't stomach buying a pawn shop set of clubs, or spending a lot of money on basic name-brand stuff.

It's not junky stuff, it really is good quality, I am not afraid to walk on the golf course with it. I think anybody can afford $150 even with today's economy. I have even seen several sets of women's clubs for the lady.

I would suggest checking local pro shops for used club sets. Most place will cut shafts down to fit for the cost of the replacement grips only...so $50-70 on top of the club cost gets you fitted.

Getting a complete club set from Wilson, Affinity, or Dunlop that has a bag with all the club types already included is a pretty good idea for a starter. Those can be cut too, all together you get a bag with a complete club set for under $350 cut to height...you can't beat that deal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
