Hey folks, first thread for me so bear with me.

So I'm in quite a jam here. I've become quite the golf nut over the past year and it's rubbed off on my dad. He just turned 63 but is still very fit for his age (from years of manual labor), however he has never engaged in any athletic sport in his life.

I want to get him a good starter set so that he can pick it up and enjoy this game before he gets too old. Although he is older and should be using a senior flex set, he could potentially get away with regular flex.

Now here's the two tough things. I really don't want to be spending too much on a set b/c I have no idea how interested he'll remain the more and more he tries this game out. At the same time, he's also left handed which makes my options ever more limited.

I've tried looking for used left handed sets on craigslist and Ebay, but none seem too fitting. At the same time I dont want to be getting some crappy $100 starter set that will break in a few months. One sort of compromise might be an intermediate set like the Golfsmith in-house brand "Zevo" ($300 for full set).

If anybody knows of any good ideas or has anything to say about the Zevo brand, any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

I've got a full set of left handed Golden Bear's with regular flex shafts that I got at The Sports Authority a couple years ago for around $300. This past winter I got all new clubs, so right now they're just sitting in the basement, but they are in pretty good condition. If you're interested PM me and we can try to work something out.

    • Project Hail Mary - Eagle. Loved the book and the movie. Saw the movie twice in the theater. Disclosure Day - Birdie. Just saw it today. Acting is superb. 
    • Courses naming holes like Augusta and Shinnecock do is pretentious wanker bullshit
    • :sigh: LMGTFY: The normal range of motion for knee flexion is approximately 135 to 155 degrees, allowing for essential activities like walking and sitting. For knee extension, it typically ranges from 0 degrees to about 15 degrees of hyperextension in some individuals.
    • The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!
    • Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.
