clubs for the wifey

[grn.eyed.bandit]

well, i just got into golfing this year, and got bit by the bug real hard! i'm horrible, but i still love the game, even after shooting 115 the other day.

i'm still trying to talk my wife into at least trying the game out with me, as i feel its a game we can play together for a lifetime. she hates the fact that i spend so much on the sport, but she wants me to buy her some cheap clubs...nothing fancy.

what are your guys thoughts on some of the "all inclusive" sets? she found a full set w/ driver, woods, hybrids, irons, putter and bag (i think the brand was founder's club) for something like $250 cdn. i'd really like to get her some nice callaways or tm, but she doesnt want them as she might not even like the sport.

what do you guys suggest?

While I'm not married, I have played a lot with a husband and wife combo. I'm not sure they would still be married without golf, though. They play together a lot and enjoy their time together. She is on her third set of clubs now because the first couple sets were cheap and just didn't help her enough to make it fun, so he finally broke down and bought her the Mizuno Ladies Sora irons and she loves them (but he paid $800). Below is a link for TGW.com (The Golf Warehouse) for women's sets. There are a few sets for under $300. The set I have actually heard the most positive about in that range is the Tour Edge set ($299.99).

I've never looked for women's sets before but is a 14 degree driver normal?

My mrs is on her 4th set.First thing is how tall is yourwife? if she is 5-9 or more you might do better and save some cash by buying her mens senior clubs as womens clubbs are usually short and expensive as clubs go.You can usually get a good {Wilson ?} complete set for a senior for under 400 and it should last her till she gets hooked and then the 2 of you can go broke together for the rest of your lives like we did.

check out dickssportinggoods.com they have a line of their own brand called "Acuity", they arent the best clubs but they are cheap and a nice starter set. they have all inclusive sets from driver all the way to putter. Again, they arent the greatest for performance, but perfect for a beginner.

also, try taking her to play it again sports. They should have some great cheap used and even brand new clubs.

I would buy something like the set below for about $42

or you could buy a full set of clubs, bag for about $350-$500

I would recommend play it safe and buy the least expensive sets and after 6 month you will know if she is still interested.

I gotta agree, acuity makes pretty nice starter sets for a pretty decent price. Actually used an acuity milled putter for a while and treated me decently well. I know a few people who bought those sets too and they like them a lot.
