Hi every body!

I'm a newbe from Viet Nam, 23 yrs-old-girl, just completed university. I'm into golf for years but now have started playing it. So, i have no experience about golf, especially the meaning of handicap index (i'm totally crewed up about it).

I don't know much about rules and golf set. I am so excited being one member in here.

So nice to know everybody.

nice to see someone so excited about golf.     I've been playing 2 years, and have played as much as humanly possible in that time (if I told you how many times I've played, you wouldn't believe it).      It's a great game, and the better you get, the more you will want to play.     I just wish I started when I was your age - welcome !!

Thank so much for greeting me with your thinking. I thought it's a bit late for those at my age ^^ starting to play golf. Now I know i was wrong..^^..I have a small budget for golf set, $1000. I hope it's ok. And I think i have to learn from you and other members here alot.

You could get a first rate golf set with that budget ... I bought my wife a very nice set at a sporting goods store for $150 on year end clearance - it's fine & all she'll need for a few  years until she gets good enough to know what she really wants & gets properly fitted.     I wouldn't drop that kind of money on clubs as a beginner - just get a nice set for 1/4 of that budget & save some of that money for a few lessons & maybe tee times !

Oh, thanks a lot for your opinion. I don't know what difference between Golf Set and Golf Club. If they mean like I think,as a starter, I just need 3 or 4 sets, is that right?

I just meant, that as a beginner, you could buy something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-Wilson-Ultra-Ladies-Womens-Package-Golf-Clubs-Set-with-Bag-and-Covers-/390421814384?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash;=item5ae6f41c70 and it would be fine for a few years until you progressed to the point where you would benefit from spending alot of money on an expensive set of clubs.  Good luck !

Thanks so much inthehole . I visited the link and was so interested in the set. I asked my friend to order it for me and now the only problem is shipping to my country. I hope it all runs well. And again, so grateful for your recommending. Thanks to you, a lot of my girl friends can afford playing golf.

Mclee your a fast learner, already a 1 handicap and brand new, I'm more than impressed. Just kidding though but that's an awesome goal to start with, welcome to the wonderful and sometimes cynical world of golf nuts.

I just didn't know what "handicap" means, but I could not type "0" on handicap blank, so I typed 1 ^^..but I try my best to get that level and thanks a lot for your compliment. I love to make friends with you and other members here..:))

Handicap is a system that allows players of all abilities to compete under certain rules and the lower your number the better the player is.To obtain a 1 handicap usually takes years of practice and a reasonable amount of athleticism, players are usually proud of themselves if they reach this type of proficiency at golf.

Wow, so amazing. I wonder where you're from and live now. Maybe there're lots of Vietnamese people in your state or near your house..I do love Pho ^^, just like you. And if you were in my city now, I think I can help you find out more delicious food at low price. And I'm running a cafeshop and a Thailand fashion shop. I wish I can offer you my own glasse of cafe sua da. ^^
