Looking for Clubs

[Jineen]

I am a beginner golfer and wanted to purchase a new set of golf clubs.

Here is the issue:

I am only 4'9" tall and when I did get to a golf store, there were not any petite sets, but the guy wanted to make a sale, so I got regular size women's clubs. I have been able to play with them, but I have to make more adjustments then I see the other golfers I am with make.

I want to know:

can I get a juniors set -- I found a callaway junior set for 52-60" and thought that might be a good start to see if it makes a difference in my game. I am definitely older though than the recommended ages...:( Is it worth a try?  I found a few sets under $200.  Also, I don't have a lot of golf months as I am in Wisconsin so I don't get to golf year round!! :(

Whereas I found lower quality petite sets starting at that price.  Any suggestions/comments please.

Welcome to the forum @Jineen

Another solution would be to have the set trimmed down to fit you correctly.  A good golf shop should be able to do that.  They could do a quick fitting and trim the clubs to fit you.

You can also play your current set by just choking up on the grip (leave 1/2 to 1" of grip exposed after you place your hands) until you get them trimmed.

Junior sets may have too flexible a shaft for an adult.
