My friends who are newlyweds want to start playing golf but don't have any equipment. The guy is about 5'9" and the girl is even at 5'. I think I can find a decent set for the guy but the girl is on the short side so I have no clue. They aren't looking to spend a lot of money since getting married costs a hefty amount lately. Any suggestions on what to do?

For an inexpensive entry level set, you might take a look at Target, even online. They could both get outfitted for less than $400-500 depending. Unless they want to go used...

You are going to laugh at me, but if you go to Big 5 Sports or even Wal-Mart you can buy a full set of clubs with a good stand bag for $150. There are lots of different kits out there. My set (John Daly Gold) included a driver, 3-wood, 3 and 4 hybrid, and 5-PW irons, headcovers, as well as the stand bag. They fit my 5'11" frame perfectly and are excellent quality for the money.

I hate buying stuff that I know is Made In China but I couldn't stomach buying a pawn shop set of clubs, or spending a lot of money on basic name-brand stuff.

It's not junky stuff, it really is good quality, I am not afraid to walk on the golf course with it. I think anybody can afford $150 even with today's economy. I have even seen several sets of women's clubs for the lady.

I would suggest checking local pro shops for used club sets. Most place will cut shafts down to fit for the cost of the replacement grips only...so $50-70 on top of the club cost gets you fitted.

Getting a complete club set from Wilson, Affinity, or Dunlop that has a bag with all the club types already included is a pretty good idea for a starter. Those can be cut too, all together you get a bag with a complete club set for under $350 cut to height...you can't beat that deal.

      Worst thing on Sunday was that NBC and Peacock wouldn't let me FF through the commercials on my DVR recording. Very boring when a guy has a huge lead on the final round and everyone else is playing for 2nd place. At least it was USA 1-2-3 in the end.

      Sheep Ranch (Bandon, Oregon)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First day of a trip to Bandon Dunes. We played Sheep Ranch today. A Coore/Crenshaw designed course. A par 34 on the front and 38 on the back. With 8 holes with either a green, tee box, or the hole runs along the edge of the bluffs at the pacific. It has amazing vistas. With wide fairways and intermixed gorse bushes. The defense of the course are its large, undulated greens and the daily winds from the north. Many times you need to take 3-4 clubs more, if you even barely cross the wind, your ball can be taken offline or come up half to a full club short. A fantastic layout.    here are some photos.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass.

      Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.

      How about with the high numbered irons such as the 9 iron? Is the swing the same with that? If that's the case then I stand corrected.  OK, although there is physics involved in the putt too.
