just go to a shop and tell them what you looking for and also to have them fitted, as far as brand you get what you pay for. sorry if i didn't help

I can only tell you what I did. I bought a complete set from Big 5 sporting goods when I became interested in the game. I think they were something like $200. As I've become more and more addicted to the game I've acquired other clubs along the way. I don't think there is anything wrong with getting a complete beginners set to see if you like the game. There are plenty of those around.

An alternative route would be to buy nicer used equipment. Starting with a three wood, a set of irons, sand wedge, and putter might get you into a little better equipment from the start. If you were to do that the sky is the limit in terms of what you can aquire. You don't really need a driver when you're learning anyway... trust me, its a complete waste of time for the first year. A three wood gets you some distance off the tee and allows you to groove a swing. You could pick up a driver when you've gotten some lessons and can't stand not having one.

There's my two cents. Whatever way you choose is the best way for you. Sorry I don't have any specifics. If you have more specifec questions, even brand related, let us know.

.. The best thing you can do is find a store like Dicks Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, Golfsmith, etc, etc and find a set that *you* feel comfortable with ....

There's alot of $200 (and down) sets that are being sold and you just need to find a set that you like the feel and the look ... the worst thing that could happen is you might need to change the grips (once you find that feel) a few months down the road ...

Whatever you do, don't get talked into a particular brand .... when you're new to the game, clubs are just like cars.. they're all pretty and such, but most are gonna be the same until you've spent some time at the driving range and visited a few different courses ....

.... three simple words --- practice practice practice .. then,

play - play - play ...


Happy Hunting.!
