New Golfer...advice on what clubs to start with

[EricGT]

I have played golf before but I am now deciding to play it a lot more and I want to get my own set of clubs.

I am looking for a decent but not a too expensive set to start with...here are two that I am looking at.

Wilson - http://www.ebay.com/itm/WILSON-OPTIMAX-Complete-Right-Handed-Mens-Golf-Club-Set-w-Auto-Deploy-Stand-Bag-/390587144959?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash;=item5af0cedaff

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If you're looking to make it as easy as possible, you're doing the right thing by purchasing a complete set. Wilson makes a solid beginners set (my first set was Wilson and it was appropriate for several years). My only suggestion would be to invest in a putter (the putters that come with the entry level sets are garbage). Over time as you find it necessary, you can replace other clubs in your bag as well. The other route would take more effort... Go to your local golf shops and check out their used equipment. Sometimes you can put together a pretty nice set on the cheap. Good luck!

The wedges that come with the sets are also garbage. Find a good used Titleist Vokey 56 degree sand wedge and a 52 degree gap wedge. They will be the clubs you use most often. You can find both on ebay for around 50 bucks. Get the older version they are still great.
