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
The equipment is there...I'm not!

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.

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.

In my bag:
Driver - 905T, 9.5* UST V2 75 s
Fairway - X Tour 15*, Fuji TP 26.3 x
Hybrid - Rescue Dual TP, 16* Diamana Rayon x
Irons - 4-pw X-18 PS Rifle 6.5Wedges - MpT BNi, 51.08, 56.13, 60.10Putter(s) - Puku BellyBall - Bridgestone Tour B330-S

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

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
