Looking for recs for beginner clubs

[Dr Hook]

I'm in the same boat. I just picked up the new Wilson Staff D200 irons 4-GW. If you like high and straight these are for you.

I use the Wilson Staff Di9 irons and cant fault them. I think the Di11 should be at a decent price now especially in the states (UK prices are around the £150 mark). Ebay is generally a good place to look, just make sure to research the seller or stick to the ebay shops.

That's a solid set right there.  I think at least a sand wedge and some sort of fairway wood is in order.  I'd find a nice used 5 wood and pick up a discounted older sand wedge.  Try looking for a Cleveland sand wedge or something similar in a new older model.  I wouldn't buy a used wedge, fearing worn out grooves. A decent stand bag and you're set.  Good hunting.

I was thinking of a 5w but was under the impression people were not using fairway woods anymore?

[Seniorhacker]

I guess with the marketing of hybrids, one would get the impression that we don't use fairway woods like we once did. I have both, there definitely is still a place for fairway woods in the bag.

Yea I would not mind having a 3w and 5w but I was not sure if they were replaced with the newer hybrids. Right now I just have a driver and 3hybrid. I used to drive with my 3w when I was a kid and use it on the fairway all the time

Since you like fairway woods, a suggestion. The Tour Edge Exotics XCG6 is being closed out now at good prices, Global golf and Budget Golf are online sites that have good prices on closeouts. I have this fairway wood and it is absolutely one of the best clubs I have found at a decent price. I use my 3w on short par fours off the tee. Whatever you decide, good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I am going to check it out today.
