A lot of my friends urged me to play golf this year, so I decided to join the team. I've been wanting to play for a while but haven't had the chance. My dad helps me with my swing as I hit balls in the back yard, and I'm getting lessons here soon. So for right now I'd like to find a set of clubs to call my own. I'm looking for something in the $200 range. I've almost narrowed it down to a couple, but I'd like your guys' opinion.

I'm leaning more towards the Wilson but I'd like to see what other people think. TIA

I'd recommend looking for some used clubs. Old G series ping irons (g10 or g15 maybe, not sure on prices) would be a good place to start.

This might be a good place to look, and they are a sponsor of TST. My Son and I have bought clubs from them, and they are good folks to deal with.  Link to some used Ping irons.    http://www.globalgolf.com/golf-clubs/1012894-ping-g10-iron-set/used/?sft=1

My dream is for some day for someone to listen to me and build themselves a set of Maltby TE Forged. They are butter, cut through the turf with ease, and are the most forgiving forged iron I've ever hit. I wish I found them years ago.

I agree with @smellysell .  A better used club will be a better investment.  Ping G10 is an excellent beginner club. I just bought some for my godson.  Go to the used club section of your local store, like Golfsmith, and try some out.  Also, hit the new clubs like Ping G25 or G30 and you will get the idea on how they feel.

A suggestion I always throw out is to get a set of PING Eye2's or ZINGs. They were very popular, so you can usually get what you want -the right color dot- in the $100-150 range. With fresh grips, they are great to learn on, and if you keep the grips fresh, you may never change.

In the bag:

Driver: PING 410 Plus 9 degrees, Alta CB55 S  Fairway: Callaway Rogue 3W PX Even Flow Blue 6.0; Hybrid: Titleist 818H1 21* PX Even Flow Blue 6.0;  Irons: Titleist 718 AP1 5-W2(53*) Shafts- TT AMT Red S300 ; Wedges Vokey SM8 56-10D Putter: Scotty Cameron 2016 Newport 2.5  Ball: Titleist AVX or 2021 ProV1

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
