@Jim... Interesting. I didn't know something like that was available at that price point. I'll have to check Monarch out. Another question to all that I have is what exactly is a "game improvement iron". Isn't that what everyone is looking to do? Are they not allowed by PGA rules or something?

@Meeks... Nice. I'm from western PA. I know there isn't much golf left this year. I should probably wait. But I really got bit by the bug over the last month. Lol

Sweet. Great input guys. I appreciate all advice. I'm not leaning towards any particular clubs because yes... I know there is a difference between a 150$ set and a 1600$ set. But in all honesty. I've used about 4 or 5 different sets of clubs all of which were really old or cheap and I have had some great hits and lousey shots. At my level I believe it is more about getting my golf game down and comfortable with what I have. I just don't want to invest a lot in something I am going to want to replace a few months down the road. Thats why I figured you all could give me some better advice then me just randomly buying something based on name brand or looks

So I am new to golf and this site. This is my first post. I have played several rounds this year.... but very limited rounds over the last few years. Any time I play I have to borrow clubs. I don't have my own. I would like to invest in my own set of clubs as my interest is beginning to grow and I would like to play more often. So the questions I have are this. I do NOT want a junky 150$ set of beginner clubs But I am not looking to spend a Grand on a set either. I would like to get totally set up for around the $500 range (irons, wedges, woods, driver, putter, bag). I am thinking probably my best way to go is something like this... http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=19082426&ab;=TopNav_Golf_MensGolfClubs_CompleteSets&cp;=4413989.4414118 I have the train of thought of get a mid range set then I can build on it piece by piece as my game improves. I have looked on CL and there is nothing much in my area. I have went and looked at "certified pre-swung" clubs from both Calloway and Taylormade. But for the the price range I am looking there does not seem to be much of anything special. What does anyone thing about the Tight Lies set? or another set you suggest? or is there something else I should be looking at???? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!
