I'm pretty new to golf and right now I'm using some old hand me down clubs. I'm lookin to buy some new ones but dont really wanna spend a butt ton of money. Is there a good online discount store that is reasonable in price? And is there a good set of clubs for beginers?

I find a lot of good deals on Ebay. Just make sure you're buying from a reputable seller...

On eBay I have had some good luck with certain eBay stores - Rockbottomgolf.com, GolfAgain Store, and The Hill of Golf Pro-Line Golf Shop for some purchases of some new gear. 3balls Golf for some used equipment.

For irons for a new player my friend went with Adams from Rock Bottom and I went with Tour Edge from The Hill of Golf. Wedges I got at GolfAgain and a driver from 3balls.

Personally I like the Tour Edge products for high handicappers. I really like my Bazooka QL Combo set which came with 3 & 4 hybrids and 5 - PW irons at a really good price (even better price when you consider I sold the hybrids). Tour Edge wedges start at $40 and they made Golf Digest's Hot List (as did the irons I mentioned). For the price I don't think you can beat Tour Edge.

You also may want to check out Innovexgolf.com. There you can buy individual clubs. They seem to get good reviews and their prices are pretty good. I got a gap wedge from them that I liked but I replaced it with my Tour Edge because I wanted a matching set.

Or if you want to spend virtually nothing I have my old beginners set from Dicks Sporting goods to sell. They have seen about 8 rounds of golf but a good amount of time at the driving range. I will sell the entire set dirt cheap just to free up some room in my house - 3 woods, 8 irons, a putter, sand wedge, and bag. Overall condition is about 8/10 (woods are in better shape than that).

If you want to try the Innovex wedge I will sell that for a few dollars also.

    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
