Well as the big day for me approaches i will soon be graduating and going off to college.

And for a graduation present i wanted new clubs. I've been playing for about four years and these new clubs will be replacing a no name driver, putter, and LW. Along with my Tommy Armour 845s and Cleveland SW. Though i love these clubs i need some more forgiving irons the 845s are nearly the size of blades and some days i can hit great with them other days i cant. Mainly i am looking for clubs that are really forgiving. It doesnt have to be a complete  set just lead me in the direction of some nice irons, driver, and putters. So it can make my decision a bit easier.

My budget is $800 or less.

Also sorry if i didnt spell or word things correctly im a bit tired lol.

a lot of iron options out there. tm burner irons I have heard are some amazing clubs. burner driver is also a great club. you can buy a used burner driver for cheap. and really, the putter is up to you. all about the feel of the putter being right for you. whatever putter feel right, buy it.

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

some great deals online for Taylormade burner plus iron sets.     If you have a Dicks Sporting Goods near you - theyre running some huge sales ... I picked up an Adamas Speedline driver yesterday for $59 (ok, so it's a 2009 model, fine by me).   Picked up an Adams hybrid for $39 over the winter there too...

I agree....just looking around you can get a full set of Taylor Made or Callaway clubs(New clubs, but older models) for less than 800.

I know you can find iron sets for 300-400, drivers for 150, FW's for 100 and putters for 80-100.

I'd suggest keeping an eye on good clubs on classifieds forum here and and golfwrx.com, there are great, lightly used clubs available pretty frequently.

      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.
