Any other opinions on this would be great...Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the great information! The link on ebay says the set is worth $51.27. Is that accurate in the real world? Would I be overpaying at ~$90? Also, does any of Jon's other deals on Craigslist look like a good purchase for me? http://austin.craigslist.org/search/spo?query=713-409-3889&srchType;=A&minAsk;=&maxAsk;= I might stop by his shop. I actually live in Round Rock, not Austin.

Oops, I didn't see my 1st thread so I started another one. Sorry. Mods, please delete or merge :) Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am new to golf. I've played a couple of rounds total in my life and been to the driving range several times. My father and father-in-law have picked up the sport in the past 1-2 years and I would like to begin playing to bond with them. They both live out of state and these chances are few and far between so I want to practice and improve my game. I think I can catch up to their level in a year if I play regularly. I feel it's time for me to have my own set of golf clubs but I don't want to spend too much until I can continue to learn more. They are coming to visit (and play golf) in September and October so I've got about a month to find something. My budget is $100 and I'd like to purchase the best used golf clubs from Craigslist, but I don't know which of these clubs are good values. I am looking to fellow forum members to help me evaluate which of these would be a good buy. There are plenty to choose from, here are just a few: TM and Ping $70 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2553666691.html TM $80 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2544170869.html Wilson $40 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2505514331.html Hogan $100 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2535070366.html Assorted $80 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2537529942.html There are more to choose from in the Austin Craigslist. I also plan to stop by Golfsmith soon to check out some of their used clubs as well. But for now I am still doing some research. I would appreciate any and all advice and guidance. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I am new to golf. My father and father-in-law started to pick up golf in the last 1-2 years so I've decided to make an effort to pick it up to play and bond with them. Neither of them lives near me so those chances are few and far between. I'm an active person who is used to playing basketball, softball, and football. Even though I'm a complete noob, I think I'll be able to catch up to their level in a year or so if I play regularly. I've been to the driving range before but am learning a lot more these days and feel like it's time to get my own set of clubs. Still not knowledgeable on which ones to get or which ones I need, but I know that I want to improve on my non-tee shots and non-putting shots (I believe that would be my irons??). I want to stay under $100 for the best used clubs I can get so I've been looking on this forum for reviews/opinions and also on Craigslist to see what's available to me. The only problem is that it's hard for me to make the connection of value and performance of the clubs so I was hoping ask forum members to help me with their opinions if I post some links on the Craigslist postings I've seen. These are just a few I saw, but there are several more: TaylorMade & Ping - $70 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2553666691.html Wilson - $80 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2501048227.html Adams - $90 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2550736454.html Wilson - $40 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2531071631.html Wilson - $100 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2545013943.html TaylorMade - $80 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2544170869.html Hogan - $100 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2535070366.html Titleist - $100 http://austin.craigslist.org/spo/2530460377.html There seem to be many others if you search in Austin which I'm not sure how they stack up to these as well, but any advice and direction would be greatly appreciated! Thank you everyone!
