I bought a simple (read: cheap) golf club set to get started with. It includes the driver (and two other woods), two hybrids, irons 5 through 9, a putter and a pitching wedge.

Is this enough, or would the average bear say that I DO need to get a sand wedge and maybe even a lob wedge?

Thanks!

Pitching wedge and sand wedge. Normally 48 and 56 degrees. Need to have a club with more bounce than a pitching wedge for bunker play. Lob wedge and gap wedge distances can be achieved through swing speed and choking down.

Here's a poll done here with some good discussion about what people are using. I understand you are a beginner, but some good discussion about what distances people are using each wedge for and various shot types...
