Hi there! I recently inherited a set of golf clubs and bag but the problem is I've only played once in my life and barely know the first thing about golf! 
I was thinking this may be a good opportunity to start playing as there are quite a few courses around my city of Victoria, BC, Canada, but I'm also wondering if someone could help me get an approximate value on them! 

They are:
Founders Club Fresh Metal Plus 24 degrees, and 21 degrees
Founders Club Deep Undercut Cavity 5, 6, 8, and 9
Founders Club P 
Tour Mission Extreme putter
North Western 1 and 3

All are in pretty good shape and come in a bag and one has a little protector. 
Does anyone know if these are worth anything?? 

Many thanks!
Alex

I know the northwestern clubs are worth nothing. Usually if you have a few cheapo clubs in the bag, everything else is probably worth very little.

The whole set including the bag are worth approx. $20 American.

Most old and even rare clubs don’t have much value unless they have some significant history/celebrity attachment to them.

I agree with what has been said. The clubs have little monetary value. Founders Club was an OK brand in its day-late 70's early 80's if I recall.

The Northwestern 1 and 3 are woods I presume? Are they made of wood or metal?

As far a utility for a starter set, they should do fine. You will want to pick up a more modern 3 wood and or driver.

Thanks so much all for the info! Since they're worth next to nothing this will be a great opportunity to try my hand at the game. I just found there's a driving range a 10 minute walk from my house :) 

all the best,

Alex

That's probably the best use for them. Old clubs, like @Vinsk said, typically don't have any value, at least from a monetary standpoint. The value in them is taking them out the range, using them, and seeing if golf is something you might enjoy.

It actually looks like this is an off-brand that has or had produced clubs over many years. 

Like the guys have indicated, no real up market. What you can get for them would depend on how recent they are as well as the condition. Some of the later versions may well be something a beginning golfer could do well with. The older stuff maybe not so much.

This looks like a fairly recent 3W that somebody starting off could do ok with.

This seems to be a much older 3W that I'd steer clear of.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
