I want to get back into golfing after 20 years and have been looking at clubs. Don't Know If I should go with sonething like used taylormade, cobra, Or adams. A couple of co-workers say just go with some Orlimar set and bag $200. Clubs have certainly improved since I was a golfer. Any recommendations on deciding on clubs? Thank you

Getting fitted is good advise, obviously, but how far are you in your return to the game? I bought a set of Callaway X-24s from Costco and have been both really happy with it and glad I spent more than just a cheap store set. That said, 2 years out, only now do I know what I would have done differently, but I also know I did choose as well as I reasonably could have, with really forgiving game improvement clubs that were high quality. I'd advise against a cheap set like Orlimar. I haven't played it specifically, but, eh. My brother bought a box set from Sports Authority for $250 and the bag is cheap crap that comes apart, the irons are OK, but the woods, hybrid, and putter are atrocious. Definitely buy used but good quality if you can. And look at past year sets. Some sell new for peanuts. Speedblade and SLDR irons were selling sub $300 on some deal sites last month. Go back another year and you can get into the low $200s. It might be good to get some great GI irons and a good 3 wood and fill out the set from there once you know what you want after a few months or a year. Great deals around Christmas.

Taylormade Jetspeed fairway woods were going for $35 the other day. Great buy.

Hello labmom, there are tons of options. How serious are you thinking about getting into golf? A half dozen times a year, or play a round every week type of thing?

Welcome to the forum @labmom

Adams and Callaway make starter sets.  Some offer "short" sets that have fewer club (the skip every other iron).  My wife got an Adams set three years ago and it has help up nicely.  The hybrids and irons are designed to get the ball in the air and are forgiving.

The Lady Solair from Callaway and Lady New Idea from Adams are popular.  I agree with the others to spend the time and get fitted if possible.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
