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.

    • Short gym set at lunch;  bench press, four sets of five, 180 lbs.   Did a few of the medicine ball / driver drill too while I was at it. 
    • I took a look at a 6,300 yard fairly easy course and it was 99% distance and then a 6,800 yard more challenging course and it was 97% distance. Do you have an example of one less that 95% or 90%? Maybe I am misunderstanding something. (6,310/220) + 40.9 = 69.6. Course rating is 70.0 with a 120 slope. Less than 1% other factors? (6,804/220) + 40.9 = 71.8. Course rating is 74.0 with a 140 slope. About 3% other factors? These are more extreme: (4,698/220) + 40.9 = 62.3. Course rating is 62.7 with a slope of 101.  (7,569/220) + 40.9 = 75.3. Course rating is 77.4 with a slope of 155. So long hard courses are 97% length and short easy courses are 99% length in these examples. I am new to this so maybe I am all wet.  
    • I think in fairness what he means is Tommy's chances to win PGA Tour events are fairly similar in number to Rory's chances to win the Masters. I don't think he's remotely saying that Tommy and Rory are in the same league. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I took the comment as meaning if he keeps giving himself chances to win then eventually he will win one. Rory had a thing in his head about the Masters and won anyway. Tommy has a thing in his head about PGA Tour events. They do seem fairly analogous to me.
    • Don't get me wrong, I like TF from a nice-guy-next-door perspective but I was surprised at the nerves he showed on the 2nd putt on 17th. That was unmistakably a stroke of a player who had already submitted to the writing on the wall. Honestly I would not expect that out of a veteran tour player. I would have liked to continue rooting for him but gotta see a bit more fight from him. Rory could be reasonably accused of being a head case but he is a fighter. Big difference.
    • Um no. Rory Wins PGA Tour 29, EU 19, Majors 5, FedEx Cup 3 Tommy PGA Tour 0, EU 7, Majors 0, FedEx 0 He may win eventually, but he’s not in the same league as Rory.
