Beginner Clubs

[Gremmie]

Is there such a thing as to much club for a beginner?  I have Titleist 909 D2 driver and fairway woods and hybrids.

Welcome to The Sand Trap. For Woods and hybrids, those are fine. Titleist drivers, woods and hybrids are very forgiving. It is better to focus on learning to play and improve your swing than worrying about the clubs for now.

Have fun!

What you have there is fine.  Gonna need a set of irons though.  Make sure if you are starting out you look at Game improvement or Super game improvement type.  Might want to look into buying a used set as well to save money.

Thank you for your replies.

Would Callaway Ladies gem's graphite shafts be ok for a 50 yr old male to start out on?  I do have a slower swing speed.

Might feel too whippy.  Go to a store and swing them and find out.

Yes, do that! And swing them in the bay on a launch monitor. I once looked at some used irons/hybrids at the Golf Galaxy outside Cleveland. They had 3 different sets of them in 3 different shaft flexes. So, I picked a common club from each set and hit it in the bay. If I remember correctly they were Adams clubs. The stiff shafts were just OK. The regular shafts performed great! And the L shafts went nowhere! Just little fizzlers out short and right. Problem was the "set" with regular shafts was short a couple of clubs, so I decided not to buy.

Unless your Titleist clubs have ladies shafts, I wouldn’t recommend them.  You can probably find the same era in irons pretty cheap in a regular flex graphite.

Something like a Taylormade R7 or Ping G10.  Heck, you could probably get some Taylormade Rac OS or Callaway X-14’s and be fine.

You can search Google for Golf Digest hotlist by year that will give you an idea on game improvement irons that you might want to look at.
