If there is a Norstrom Rack in your area, it's a GREAT place for discounted golf clothes.

Thanks everone for your informative replies. I do plan on taking some lessons with a buddy of mine who is also a beginner, just as soon as he can get some free time from his business. I went to some more golf shops today as well as a Golfsmith and it seems all brick and mortar stores just can't compete pricewise withe internet sites and ebay. I'll concentrate on the web, although it scares me a bit to learn that there are actually counterfeit clubs! I never would have thought that was possible, is there anything the chinese won't duplicate??? I like this Cleveland set because of convenience. OTD it would cost me about $605 because I have a coupon code. I don't know if I could put together comparable package of new quality namebrand components (irons, driver, bag, etc) that would fit in this price range. I'm looking at a few used Callaway and Nike sets on ebay, and my preference is to save money, so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the offer of your used set but I'm a Righty. Any Sports Authority should have them, just go to your nearest one and they are displayed prominently in the golf section.

Hello all, I am relatively new to golfing and have resolved to play more. I want to make golfing my go to sport/hobby, I used to play alot of basketball but it's hell on my knees and I can't quite keep up anymore... Anyways, I've only played a handful of games and usually borrow friend's clubs when we hit at a range. I would like to get my own set. I've read many of the newbie threads here, and looked online at various golf shop sites and ebay. I've also visited Roger Dunn and other sporting goods chains. At first I considered the Top Flite Xl set because they are cheap and also made by Callaway. Although they have recieved decent reviews on various opinion sites, they are not highly regarded among golf forums. Cleveland seems to have a good reputation and I came across these at the Sports Authority of all places. HERE is the link to the same item on their website. There are not many opinions in these on the net. What are your opinions/thoughts? Should I just buy a used set on ebay?? I love the Nikes and some Callaway stuff, but they are quite expensive. Thanks for your help!

Great vid!

Tiger is the one who got me interested in golf. The Nike gear is not too shabby either.

I was in Public Accounting but got laid off. Blessing in disguise because I hated it...more time to golf!!
