Callaway GES for Mom

[nurseduffer]

Gotta love Mom....
She has a low swing speed...has trouble getting her shots up in the air. I can tell she is bummed when the rest of us head out to play par 71-72s. She doesnt go because she knows she will hold all of us up.
She gets confused on which clubs to use and when.
So I was thinking about getting her fitted with a Callaway GES set and getting her a package of lessons when the clubs arrive.
I need some advice from some of you low handicapers so I can make sure this is the right thing for her.
I don't expect her to ever be hitting 200 yard drives or making a string of pars...but it would be nice if she could start enjoying the game with the rest of the family.
I think with the right equipment and instruction this could happen.
Thanks Brandi

You're absolutely on the right track. For a your mother, who is probably just a part-time recreational golfer that's just looking to have fun out there, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a ladies set that is geared towards just that -- making the game more enjoyable for someone who may not make a perfect swing every time. With the flexible shafts and lofted clubs, she'll be able to get the ball up in the air more easily. Also, with fewer clubs in the bag, the game will be less intimidating. Taking irons out of the equation completely is good too. She'll be able to pop it out of sand traps and rough more easily, since the wide soles won't dig on her. The lessons will be helpful too (they always are).

So, yeah, I say go for it. Good for you for getting your mom involved in the fun.

i Would Try and Get Wide Sole Irons or a Hybrid set of irons which r very easy 2 use and she will hit the ball cleaner and Longer!

My mother recently got a Nancy Lopez set that she seems to be liking. And Adams makes some nice looking clubs geared specifically for women. Giving your mom a lesson coupon is a great idea, too - finding the right teacher is the tough part.

Thanks guys for all the help. Callaway doesnt make the GES anymore. I ended up getting her the Adams Aos 7-pc set. She is very happy with them. Next...it's lessons
