Money is not a huge factor but we don't wan to spend extra money if we don't need to. Would an 8 piece set be good enough for a twice a month golfer? Pros and cons for both please.

An 8 piece set would be enough, but if she really gets into it, she may want to upgrade meaning you kind of wasted some money. I bought the better half an Accuity complete set. Then we got her a putter that she really wanted and then she upgraded her driver to the ladies Cobra. It was over the course of 2 years, but she is hooked now.

My mom has the adams 13 piece set and loves it. It is definately a great choice for a beginner, great value. As to the set size, id probably go with the bigger one if the extra bens isnt a big deal. Just because if she decides she really likes the game then she wont want to get more clubs. On the other hand if she doesnt need it/ like the game then youve only dropped an extra 200 instead of the possible 500 or more it would cost if she wants something else. The 8 piece set might leave some gaps between irons but that depends on her swing speed. My mom has like a half wedge swing and her 5 and 8 irons like go the same distance. The irons are great and she can keep them for years unless she wants a players set at some point.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
