Yeah, I've hit the range several times but I'm unsure on what type of swing I have. Now will the person instructing me tell me what kind of swing I have? Or what kind of clubs to look for? I'm taking an "intro to golf" class in March and "Get golf Ready" in April. I'd like to have my own set by the second class, but I guess its not absolutely necessary.

Also I looked at the Callaway FT-5 and when picking options I was a little confused. What does driver loft mean? A 9 come with Stiff-flex and a 10 comes with Senior-flex.

Awesome! Thanks for putting that list together. Now I probably should have stated the $800 budget is for all my gear, including shoes, glove, and atleast 1 set of golf clothes. $620 is actually a little more than I thought to spend, but still doable. I will do a little research on these and see what I come up with. Now, are these clubs beginner friendly? I quess the term is "forgiving".

Range King- I hear ya, but the thing is it's hard for me as a newcomer to the sport to pick out a set of used irons. I just don't know what to look for. Do you have any suggestions on a beginner used iron set in that price range? I don't mind paying $100 more to get a new set like the Adams a2 and be satisfied that I got something decent. Honestly I don't see myself upgrading for at least a year, thats why I would rather spend a little more and get a decent set now.

Not sure if the Adams a2 set is 3-PW, website states that it comes with 8 clubs- 2 hybrids and 6 irons. Maybe you can tell me which clubs this set comes with.

So, I'm finally ready to take up golf and looking to get some clubs. Since I budgeted a certain amount for hobbies, I have about a $800 for gear. Here's what I've found so far, now keep in mind that I'm not commited to buying one of these sets so feel free to suggest something. I'm still going to go to several shops in my area and try out as many clubs as I'm allowed. I plan on doing lots of research before I buy since my lessons dont start until mid-march. Any help is greatly appreciated. Adams Tight Lies Set $399 Both from Golfgalaxy.com Maxfli Black Max set $399 Pinemeadows Golf ZR1 set $450 w/graphite shafts I'm also not opposed to putting together a basic set. I read somewhere that the basic clubs one should have are: Sand Wedge, Putter, 7 Iron, 3 Wood, and 7 Wood. What are your thoughts on this? I also found Walmart carries a AdamsGolf Idea a2 hybrid/iron set for $299. If I purchased this, what else would I need? -Vic

I recently started drinking port wines. But I'm a beer man, I LOVE HOPS. Some of my favorite brews are Arrogant Bastard, Ruination, Lagunitas Maximus, Hopsickle Triple IPA. Did I mention I LOVE HOPS?

I love when it rains here because that means theres fresh powder on the slopes. I love going up to the Sierras to snowboard. But, I would not want to live where it snows. Currently here its 55 with light rain.
