These are a Costco exclusive for $250 and I think I have decided on them as my "beginners" set. I just wanted to see if I could get more comments on them. You can see them here:

Here's an old thread on the clubs:

I'm really excited and I hope I don't hear horror stories about heads flying off like I have heard with other clubs I had considered getting...

I haven't played with these clubs, but they seem to be fine. Since they are $250, you shouldn't have any problems keeping the heads tightly secured to the shafts. Now would be the perfect time to make some crappy pun about "releasing" the clubhead through impact, but I'll spare you the agony. Your welcome.

Maybe it's because I'm new to golf but I really have no idea what you spared me. :) So you think since they are $250 they should be of a solid quality to not break?

...and the 3 year warranty.

Good point. I can't believe I missed that. Also Costco is really generous about returns, I'm going to go for it.

EDIT: I bought them, they seem really nice. Can't wait to try them out!

Hi there. I too was lookin at getting a complete set as I am a beginner, and some golf shops showed me the Mega PT set and they seemed pretty decent, but this set at Costco was actually cheaper and I would assume was of similar quality. I was wondering how you like them so far. Another good point is that fact that Costco takes anything back if you don't like it.

Exactly. I'm not very good still but from what I've played they seem like a great set of clubs and the bag is very nice (from what I can tell). It is handy that you can wear it like a backpack to make carrying easier, it has legs that automatically fold out to catch it, and includes tons of clubs (including hybrids). It seems like the perfect set to me...

I noticed that the 5 and 6 irons are not cavity backs. I was wondering how those are. Are they easier or harder to hit than cavity back irons? Also, are the woods and hybrids graphite shafted?

I don't have enough experience to tell you how they handle but I can tell you that was one of the reasons I got the set...variety.

I think the wood are graphite shafts and the irons are steel. I'm not sure about the hybrids.

I saw that set at Costco. I think that 5 and 6 are hollow, like a hybrid. If so you'll like hitting those 'yo.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
