As per the thread title, I currently have the essentials to enable me to play a par 3 course while I'm starting out (4-PW & a putter) and was wondering what I should add to my bag next. I don't have the cash to buy the required clubs all at once (unless I get around to selling my bikes soon) so I need to fill my bag in instalments. I was thinking of adding wedges, then hybrids (I'll replace the 4 iron), followed by fairway woods and lastly a driver. Any tips or views as to whether there's a "preferred" order for me to build my set? Thanks, Chris

Thanks for the reply. As the PW is a chunky old beast I wouldn't mind buying wedges (generally cheaper to buy multiple wedges), what degree wedges would you recommend? I'm thinking I'll carry 3 wedges.

I'd play the par- 3 course and see where you lack in your game. On paper golf is an easy game, You have 2 -(or less) putts to get in par would say. So You need to have a good putting game. Yes this is the backwards from the cup lesson. And you will need a good short game from 100yds in to the cup. So you will need wedges. I hear the Tom Watson wedge sets are good, you get the 52,56 and 60 degree wedges($99). I would go with the non-cavity wedges on my purchase...it will give you a feel. I can only dial in certain Hybrids, I would suggest that you go to a driving range, golf club that offers different hybrids and hit them, and do the same for the driver.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
