Hello,
iam a 20 year old who has just discovered golfing. My parents play it and they finally got me to try and i love it. i have been golfing with my grandfathers old set of clubs and i dont know how much longer they are gonna last. I'm looking right now for a good iron set that isnt extremly expensive. I'am a Newbie to golf so nothing amazing but some that can help become a better golfer and still be competetive enough for me as i sharpen my skills. Please help me decide what brand and size iron's to buy, inlcuding a driver. I'm 5,10 and about 140.
glad to listen to any advice
thanks!

Basically having whatever you purchase fitted to your body and swing would be the biggest aid I could reccomend. What ever set you choose have them fitted. Shaft length, Club head lie angle, grip size... There are great "clone" or "knock-off" sets for under 200 that usually include a fitting with purchase. just my 2 cents

    • Just curious about people's thoughts on approach shots.  Now, I'm talking about a clear view of the green, not behind a bunker or other obstruction where you have to get the ball really high, and drop like a cat. When out 125,100, 75, 50 yards and less, do you prefer: using a single club like 9i or PW, and feeling the distance to get on the green in your swing using different clubs (9i, PW, GW, etc.) with the same swing part of me thinks that if I can get really comfortable with my favorite club, I can adapt my swing to get it on the green from those distances, especially a light pitch with a 9i from 50 yards, as opposed of hitting a really good full swing with a SW.  
    • I've had fun every time I've gotten together with any of the SandTrap folks, I'm definitely interested in doing it again if its within reasonable driving distance.
    • I listened to Dr. Norton's interview/podcast last year on IIRC, Huberman. Worth listening and yes, demonizing HFCS or sugars in general as independent agents of obesity is at best misinformed. But from a dependent risk perspective the easiest thing for me to remember as a good reason to control sugar intake is that those who tend to have high sugar intake also tend to have high caloric intake.  Outside of genetic factors and type of calories to an extent, in general, caloric surplus continues to be a singularly consistent factor in determining how overweight you are going to. I don't care if you fast for 16-18 hours. or any other time-managed eating. You can only eat so much before you start storing more than you will ever use.
