Are Orbiter clubs any good for a beginner / someone looking to get back into the game? I last played about ten years ago - middle school - but was recently given a nice set of Orbiter clubs that are in new condition. They came in a nice Miller bag on a removable caddy. Oddly enough they seem to be about the right length for my 6' 3" frame. I've taken a few swings with them already and it's all coming back to me, though I have yet to see if I can still hit well. Grips are Lamkin and the shaft are black and say "True Ace Precision Series SE - Standard Weight - 3.5* Torque - Frequency Calibrated." Thinking about taking advantage of a local Par 3 course that's five bucks for nine holes or $100 / yr. membership. Thoughts?

I'm not familiar with Orbiter, but don't believe it is one of the major brands.  If you're thinking of getting back into golf I'd really suggest taking at least a few lessons.  Hopefully the pro giving the lessons can help advise you on how the clubs fit and how well suited they are for your game.  If they feel okay, my guess is that they are likely fine for getting started.  Once you have spent some time getting your game together you will be in a much better position to tell what sort of clubs you may want going forward.

So far as the par 3 course, I think that is excellent!  Anyone that can get around a par 3 okay has the hardest parts of the game covered.  Hitting a driver is sort of an art unto itself, but is something you can pick up easily enough, and that's the only piece of the puzzle you won't get to practice sufficiently on a short course.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
