Trying to find some clubs that would be good for introducing my 5 year old to the game. Don't want to spend a fortune on clubs he will outgrow quickly. Just want to get him hitting here an there. I see US kids golf had a 9 iron with a training grip. I'm thinking that might be a good starter club and add a putter or wood/driver if he enjoys it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Yes, Callaway Preowned Has a Deal on a 5-8 yr old set - jump on it as the quantity is limited - driver, fairway, hybrid, 9i, wedge, putter and bag - and a great price.

Which coast are you on? I bought some off of craigslist. I bought a nice set of Barbie clubs for 15 clams shipped! They were brand new!

Thought if you were on the east coast and close you could check out the set I have.

Hey thanks for the links. I'm going to check them out. Not sure I want to drop $200+ just yet. I'd like to get him swinging a club first. Even if I have to upgrade soon. There is room for hand me downs or a second set of clubs when one of his friends want to play.

I picked up a set of Intech? I think, that was the brand. 5-8 year old clubs, wood, 3 irons and a putter with a bag for 30 bux on cl.

My boy wants new equipment ... When I replaced his 9i, which he lost, he said "but it's not new."

I said, "Neither are your other clubs."

Initech clubs are a little heavy for a 5 year old but they seemed solid. Like I said I got them second hand and they were pretty nicked up.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
