Right now I just started playing golf again, but I'm not too serious about it, only recreational. But my current clubs are a little old, Nicklaus Golden Bear Mac Gregor classic woods, and I was looking into getting some new one. Whats a good set that I won't have to spend that much on, or should I just slowly upgrade to better ones?

I supose it depends on how often you're going to play.

I'd look on ebay and decide on my budget first of all and then go from there. A good club for the recreational golfer is the Taylor Made OS2.
In the bag:
Driver - FT-i 9.5* Neutral Speeder 686 Stiff
Fairway Wood - X-Tour 15* Stiff
Hybrid - Nickent 3DX Ironwood 17* Aldila NV Hybrid 75S
Irons - Tour Stage Z101 Forged Irons DG S300 Shatfs (2-PW) Wedges - 52* Callaway X Tour Vintage, 58* Callaway X Tour Mack Daddy VintagePutter - Scotty...

Look at the models that are 2-4yrs. old and pick one out. try e-bay and golf outlets for the best prices, also ask friend if they know someone planning on up grading their current set you may find something YOU"LL be happy with.
The clubs made in the last 5yrs should improve your game and you will become a regular again.

R7 9.5 S Shaft
560 R7 quad R shaft
RAC LT irons
Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum


I agree with what golfchief and Xt1ncT, it'll be cost effective to find clubs on ebay that are a couple of years old and go from there. That's what I did a few years ago when I purchased a nearly new set of Taylor Made 360 irons. My game has yet to improve beyond these irons and I'm really glad that I didn't spend big $$ on the clubs. Of course, I look forward to the day when I need a good set of custom fitted irons

    • Par is just a guideline, a reference for a hole or a course. At the end of the tournament the player that took less strokes to hole out is the winner, no matter how much it is against the Par of the course.  35 under par is not desirable? then change a few holes par.. make all reachable par 5's as par 4's.  Every hole below 350 is a par 3.. This will make those 7200 courses play "harder" with a par of 66..67.  (Ridiculous, let's just appreciate the amazing game this players have).
    • Didn't Mike Souchak (and possibly others as I'm just going by memory, but I'm pretty sure Souchak was first) shoot a 257 years ago?  It wasn't on a par 73, so it wasn't 35 under, but still.  
    • I like Golf Pad app.  I do pay a little per year for the premium version.  
    • Sounds like you're trying to prune gorse.  Seems as if gorse can actually throw its needles at anyone nearby!
    • BTW - The bush was ugly.  Anyway, in an attempt to add some clarity the ball was under some of the branches of the bush. But the bush was shaped in such a way where a left handed player could have played the shot without hitting any of the branches. A right handed player would have no chance. Thus my buddy/opponent I think was "reasonable" in addressing the ball with a flipped over 7 iron as he could have hit it lefty. .... There was, however, no guarantee that he would get good results as I've actually never seen him try to hit a ball in that manor in all the years I've played with him.
