So I finally started building a set for my little brother. I have given him my old Cleveland XL 10.5 which he is going to have cut down an inch and reshafted. I also got him a new taylormade putter 33", and a set of 3-PW Wilson fat shaft III, 3 & 4 are hyrbids. The thing about these clubs is that they are lofted pretty strongly, 3 hyrbid is at 17* and the PW is 43*. With the 3 iron at 17* I do not see much point in a 2 fairway wood set-up, I was thinking a 15* 3 wood, to act as a back up for the Driver since he will likely struggle with the Driver at first. (We've been to the range a few times and he's a natural ball striker with a decent swing speed thanks to his junior-tour tennis playing). With a 43* PW I am thinking if I may get him a 48* wedge or a 50* at the most. What are your guys thoughts on finishing off this beginner set, he is 14 years old. Thanks.

Where I play: Mission Viejo CC and
long Beach Skylinks

I already have a 48* Vokey 200 series that is hardly used, so I think I am going to give him that and then go with a 54*and 58* set-up. It might seem like a lot of choices for a beginner but the way I figure it the 48* will go in line with his irons for full shots, the 54* will have around a 12* bounce for sand and rough and the 58* will be for short pitches. To finish the set I am thinking a 14* or 15* 3 wood.

    • I enjoyed the A-B-C-D scramble we did at Kittyhawk before it shut down. Yes. The point was to meet the other members and get the season kicked off. Nobody took it too seriously. At least with that group, cheating wasn't a big issue.  As the D part of A-B-C-D, I enjoyed getting to play with one of the Association's top players. One year I played with the city champ. Man could he hit a ball.  It probably isn't something I'd want to do more than once a year, but it has its place.

    • This year the 2 person scramble at Garland was flighted after 36 holes.  The final 18 holes determined the winner.  This was more fair since most people really wouldn't know what flight they would be in.
