I just started golfing. I've been playing a local par 3 course (all holes between 108 and 220 yards), which has been pretty awesome to learn on. I've been out 4 times and lowered my score from 57 with a lot of mulligans to a solid 51. I'm swinging an ancient Spalding Molitor set at the moment, but I broke my 6 iron and the grips are falling apart.

I just ordered the GigaGolf P2 (Ping G10 'clone' clubs) 4-SW set plus their 3 hybrid to replace the all the irons. I know clones are pretty controversial, but I really wanted to get new clubs and nothing else seemed to compare at the price range. I'd much rather be using quality custom clones than some random rebranded bargain basement OEM set. I find it a little odd that people are generally OK with component clubs but decry the 'quality' of Giga/Pinemeadow clones, even though they're essentially the exact same thing except for some minor design elements.

Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a debate on clones! I'm a brand new golfer and I'm not quite finding my swing yet. I'm excited about playing more.

Hi Jonnythan, I'm a new user and from Syracuse,NY. I saw your post on your clone clubs and hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoy my Turbo Power irons(R7 CGB Max clones). I just started golfing again after a 6 year layoff.

Good luck to you, hit 'em long and straight
