I am looking into getting my first set of clubs as I posted about a week ago. While I was searching my dad told me he had an old hand me down set so I pulled them out to take a look. The woods are definitely old they are still made of wood at least for the most part. The irons are a full set 2 to PW they are Walter Hagen Ultradyne 2s. The putter is a standard putter I think a brass head. I think the woods and putter might be from from the same set as the irons. Finally the newest club is the driver, a Taylermade burner 10.5 I don't know what year but it is over 6 or 7 years for sure and it looks undersized in comparison to what I've been seeing lately. My questions are these. Are any of these clubs any good or would they make a good first set? Secondly would they be worth selling or could I make enough to maybe buy a newer set?

Thanks

To be honest, learn to play on what you have. When you develop a repeatable swing, thats when I would fork over the money on a new set. Right now you have no clue what kind of clubs you need. Stick with what you have

I hate to disagree with the guys above me but it bothers me when people say that. Why if you want to learn the game would you make a hard sport harder by using outdated less forginving equipment? I am not saying buy 1100 dollar set of clubs but a used set of recent irons and last years driver model all told could run you what mabe 400 bucks? money well spent if you ask me. I have seen many people try to learn the game with old sets of clubs and most of them just give up on the game.

I agree with wigolffan. Get a cheap set, you can get a good set for around 400 bucks with a driver, and the woods, plus the irons and putter.

      Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful.

      Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
