Im thinking about to be a golfer for many years when I was in my universtiy life. Everybody knows that lives in university is boring and blank... For me it is. It's really a very fantastic way to bump into golf this field. I was doing part time job in a supermarket. One day ,an old man called Isaac came to me and ask me if i can help him to carry his huge bags of golf sticks. I was surprised and said i can try but i m not sure i can move them, for god sick, so heavy.By useing all my power, i finally help Isaac move his clubs. At the end he gave me a card, yeah, obviously, he is a very very wonderful player in golf.

I just wanted to try, so i called him, he was so exciting and introduced me to all of his friends, haha, that  was funny, my golf life begin with this situation.

Now im working in doha, qatar, sometimes i will hang out with friends paly golf, but now i meet a problem, im trying to find a good brand of golf clubs. Do have any suggestions or recommandations on it.

I would be glad to hear from you guys. Coz im a fish in this field...

Welcome aboard.

If you're new to golf, you can likely find a used set of clubs from a friend or relative. They won't fit you great, and you should be aware that some of your poor initial play may be due to poor-fitting clubs, but they should be enough to get you onto the course and playing and learning and practicing.

Alternatively, look for a good set of used clubs on eBay or local auction sites, newspapers, etc. (on the assumption that those exist in Qatar).

No, but I bet you checked. For me, University brought much happiness. Well, the weekends did any way.

Find an old set of Titleist DCIs...cheap, and great to learn with.  If you know Cici, give him our best.  Good luck, after finding golf you will never be the same.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
