Need Advice on Completing My Bag

[collegefbfan]

New member here.  A 50 year old total beginner.  I have decided to get some lessons on the regular.  I have one next month.  I have purchased the Wilson D9 irons.  I got a great deal on them, brand new, and trying to sell the Titleist AP1's I have.  The technology is so advanced compared to the 712 AP1's.  Currently, I don't have anything in between my driver and 5 iron.  I just need a couple of clubs to close the gap.  I am going to ask the instructor which route he thinks I should take in regards to hybrids or woods or both.  I do have a budget in mind.  Just for discussion, what do you all think about these?  I am looking for something for a 50 year old beginner.  I just want to hit the ball straight and as far as my body allows.  Any advice on any of these would be appreciated.

My recommendation is to get out and play some… and not worry about completing your bag just yet.

Grab a used 5W that you can hit - try it out in shop to make sure it will work for you. Then...

The 5W will give you some distance, and can get you out of rough.  Versatile club.
