THanks for all your replies! I went to play a par 3 course yesterday and borrowed some clubs - it was fun, but I REALLY need to work on my swing!! I was thinking of going again but buying 2 clubs to take with me. Obviously I'll need a putter, but what else would kind of iron would you recommend that would be versatile enough to use on the fairway and rough? Please excuse me if that is a daft question!

Hi there, I've recently fancied giving golfing a go. I live in an area with a number of clubs. Problem is, I've never played properly before, and my experience extends to a few pitch and putt greens...! I was wondering whether you could advise me on what steps I should take. I have found a course with a driving range and practice putting green - should I go there and give things a try? I am a student and so, funds are fairly limited, but I'm very keen to get started - will my limited funds be a barrier? Secondly, I obviously don't own any clubs. Is there a bare minimum amount I could purchase before going along to the range (assuming this is a good step to take) to practice? I.e. 3 wood and putter perhaps? Apologies that my circumstances are fairly limiting, but I would like to give this a go. There is no guarantee that I would end up pursuing it very seriously in the long term, and so I think it's important that I don't splurge too much. Any advice welcomed :)
