I took my girlfriend golfing with me for the first time yesterday, and surprisingly today she told me she'd like a set of clubs so she could learn to play. She'd never been before and admitted to me that she thought it would be unbearable, but she agreed to come along with me and try to see why I liked it so much. I took her to a local muni and took her out to the small driving range they had and showed her how to grip the club and gave her a few balls and my pitching wedge and let her go at her own pace while I warmed up.

When we got on the course she didn't know quite what to expect, but after the first hole she was eager to get out of the cart and critique my shots

Long story short, she enjoyed herself more than I thought she did, and apparently wants to try the game out. She told me she'd like a starter set for christmas. She's short (5'1") and very slim, so I don't know if anything off the rack would be good for her. Right now I'm leaning toward going to a local golf shop and getting this set: http://www.wgagolf.com/index.cfm?rqs...eginnerSet2007

Opinions? I'm looking to stay in that price range, so no A3OS suggestions

In my stand bag:
9* G10 driver
904F 15* 3 wood
3-PW MP-52 irons
Burner Rescue 19* HybridSpalding 60* lob wedge Tiffany 34"Leupold GX-I rangefinderTitleist Pro V1 ball

That would be a decent starter set! Make sure though when she starts to get the ball in the air consistently to get her a better set. Preferably a custom fit set because what the big companies offer would hardly fit her. You could get her a custom fit set for around the same price as the adams set.

Whats in the bag?
Driver = Wishon Golf 949mc 9.75*/.5* Closed Face Angle
Fairway Wood = Wishon Golf 915 F/H 16* Square Face Angle
Wood Shafts = Wishon Golf Pro Flight EXP 85g Stiff Flex

    • Day 159 1-19 Flow drill while attempting to add arch in wrist on downswing. Not where it needs to be but felt good working on swing flow. 
    • Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills. 
    • That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness. 
    • Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.    
    • Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
