I am just starting to golf and have been borrowing a set of my buddies clubs, but I am currently looking and getting some of my own. I saw a local add including is a Srixon driver 10.5 degree, Adams 3 wood 15 degree, a complete set of Adams A40s set of hybrids and irons. 3 and 4 hybrid, 6,7,8,9,p, gap, sand and lob wedge, and an Ogio bag for $375. Is this an okay deal for these clubs or should I keep looking?


that sounds like a good deal to me, i would go look at them. ask if the seller could meet you at a local driving range to hit the clubs and see how you like them.

The worst day of golf beats the best day of work!


Sorry, I am really not up on those manufacturers offerings and prices enough to offer advice on the deal. Might check eBay for them to get an idea of what they are going for. Just want to share with you advice to put aside and 'add in' about another 80 bucks to the cost of whatever you are buying used, to pay for having them fitted and lies/lofts checked and adjusted. Maybe more if you have small or large hands for different size grips. No matter how good the deal is, it's not a deal until you finish it up by getting them fit to you. You don't have to be good or experienced to get fitted. But not doing so will really slow down the process of getting better. Hope you enjoy your new set whatever it might wind up being!

I would agree with this. If you like the way you hit them and they are in decent shape, that's a good deal. Adams is high quality as is Srixon and Ogio. Good luck!

    • let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣. 6/21 is 100% out for me. 
    • Thank you for sharing that. He was quite good wasn't he? I was curious, so took a look. He played 19 PGA Tour stroke play events in 2000. He was 263 under par (they did point that out at the end of the video). If you look at each event he played in and take the best score in each event for a player not called Tiger Woods, that combined field score was -259. So he beat the field - where the field resets every week - over the course of an entire season. That's mind blowing.
    • If they have the same handicap it doesn't matter what you take 35% and 15% of. If you have two low handicaps, averaging them is generally unwise as I said in my first response: a scratch and an 18 would get 9 strokes, which is silly given that one of the players is scratch.
    • Thank you iacas! Interesting take on 35% on Lower Hdcp and 15% on higher Hdcp. Two questions. Why did you choose 35% & 15%? What would I do with tied Hdcp? Right now I'm just adding the two Hdcp. and dividing by 2. We have just 2 golfers with a low Hdcp. The other 10 golfers are very similar. With what I'm doing now, the highest Hdcp. difference, in a match, is 8 once and 7 twice, Again, Thank you very much!
    • Depends on a few things but typically a 60* or 54*.    Currently, pitching is the worst part of my game right now....more so the longer pitch shots.   Its either shank city or I get it on the green but nowhere close to the hole.    Now that courses and ranges are finally starting to open, I will be hoping to revamp that part of my game.   Will start with the vids that Iacas posted above.
