I'm going to start playing golf with my friends and I was looking to buy a cheap set of clubs so I stopped by the pawn shop on Friday to see what they had. I ended up finding this set.



More info on the clubs here

The picture says Ladies, but I got the Men's version of the clubs.

GB PRO
KEY PRODUCT FEATURES:
WOODS (1-3-5)

Deep Burgundy Wood Finish
UST Graphite Shafts
GB All Weather Grips

I also got this Ram FX3 model 1 putter with it.

All of it came in a nice looking golf bag, with quite a few tees and some other misc stuff. I paid $65 for all of it. The clubs look like they have only been used a handful of times. Here is a picture of everything in the bag. I had to use my cell phone to take the picture, but hopefully you'll be able to get a general idea of what the bag and clubs look like.

Does anyone here know if I got a good deal on this set? About how much would it cost if I went out and bought this brand new? Also, is this a good beginners set for me? Thank you for the help!

Is my set good?

Good deal on a GB set, the closest I can compare a cheap set with a bag, putter, irons and woods is a Cougar Tour Cat II set on sale at Target for $88.00.

I wonder how much the set I bought sold for brand new? Is Golden Bear a good brand or are they cheap-o?

    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
    • Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
