Hi guys.

I'm relatively new to golf but I'm serious and I have alot of fun playing.

I went to the thrift store and bought the longest irons that werent rusted or bent before I wasted some money. But now I'm realzing that the clubs are too short and thinking in investing some money. I'm not rich so I'm limited to new clubs on ebay or used clubs. My budget is roughly 120$

The wierd thing about me is that I'm 6'3 but if you measure from fingertip to fingertip arms spread its 6'6. I seem to keep topping the ball. My and swing are good but I feel like I have to REALLY bend my knees to get low enough to hit the ball.

I keep the ball close and my stance close as well but it doesn't help me to get under the ball.

My inseam is 36 and wrist to floor is 36 as well.

Should I be looking at longer than men's standard irons? I'm asking because the guy in the proshop at the course I play is a jerk and doesn't know very much.

At 6'3" your may need clubs may 1/2 longer but for a $120 you may be stuck to e-bay looking for a used set thats a bit longer. Brand new I've listed a few links for you below. Hope this helps

Those look like all good deals. But I'm leaning towards the custom fitted ones. Are those good irons?

Also my mom is getting her tax return. So maybe if I be a really good boy she will get them for me. Thanks again

There's nothing wrong with these clubs. A friend of mine had a set when he was beginning. There easy to hit, very forgiving and you have trouble getting the ball in the air with them with is what you want with a first set of clubs.

I probably shouldn't do this but if you click on the link below. Just ignore the club that comes up and click on "customize club". This will take to a page where if you fill in the different measurements will give you a rough guide of how to set your clubs up ie the length etc

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.

      Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.

      Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot.

      I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
