Depends on how much you've got to spend, and what your goals are. Spend too little and you may be dissatisfied with the game because the equipment doesn't add any enjoyment (or rather, it subtracts some). Spend too much and you'll feel burned. Spend the right amount on the wrong things and you'll feel burned too.

Where do you play, what's your budget, and what do you hope to get out of your first set of clubs? Are other accessories (like a bag) to be included in the figure?

Erik is right - start with a budget. I'd go even further - regardless how you play, where you play, how often and how serious you play - budget comes first.
After that - go to a well equipped pro shop, pick 3 or 4 demo clubs and swing away. Whatever you like - take it. I bought my first 3 sets like that, before I become a snob and Taylor-Made Cool-Aid drinker

michigan,$300.00 i need a bag would like too also know about sizes i am 6'3 should i get custom length i really like the game but strugle with the swing thank you for the reply greg

...$300.00 ...should i get custom length...

tough combination. w/o the customization I'd advise to reverse the process - first go to the golf store, try all kind of sticks and go to eBay to get it half price

but once you say "customize" - eBay is out and so are good deals. Tough.. hope you'll find someone who has experience with the "not-so-big-name-in-business" companies - there are plenty out there. I only know dynacraft a bit - had two sets built from their parts - but there is the hook - you have to do it yourself or know somebody who can do it - you'd be able to customize and save tons of bucks. Good luck.
