Did I do alright?

I appreciate all the thoughts, guys. Should I just stick with the 12 clubs I have now? Or should I add 2 (to get to the 14 max) and if so, which ones? Another hybrid (22*?)? A Lob Wedge? I'm definitely new to the game, but I really, really am falling in love with it and want to dive right in.

Some advice someone once gave me was to use fewer clubs when starting out, not more. Right now for players like us there isn't a ton of difference in ball flight between a 5 and 6 iron, so why carry both? It just adds time while we select clubs for our next shot.

When I get out for my first round of the year I'm probably only going with odd-numbered irons, and may leave my driver behind, just to make things more simplified.

i wouldn't mess with a lob wedge if you are just starting, your sand wedge will be sufficent for all the shots you need to make around the green at your current ability. A lob wedge can complicate things and its tricky to hit if you dont have good feel.

Sounds like a nice set...hope you get into the game and enjoy it!

It's not worth spending the money on extra clubs when you're just starting out. When you don't really have a feel for your swing, you'll see a hell of a lot of overlap with your distances, and it'll be more noticeable if you have 14 clubs instead of the 12 you have now. I'd work with what you have, then address whatever holes emerge when you can accurately gauge distances with your clubs.
