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 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
