Just an update on how my bags shaping up. Bag: Ogio tyro cart bag Driver: Nike SQ sumo, the rounded one not the square Fairway wood: Tour Edge Exotics Trilogy 16.5* 4w Hybrids/Irons: tour edge 19* 3h Adams a7os 4h,5h, 6-PW,GW Still looking for a sw, thinking a 56* higher bounce will be the ticket for me Putter: using my dads old mizuno 0704 blade putter, may upgrade though

Hey guys so have been looking into different options for a few lessons and seems in have 2 viable options, lessons with a pro at one of the local courses, or lessons in store a pgasuperstore or golf galaxy. My question is one necessarily better than the other? At the range I feel would be beneficial due to being able to see the complete ball flight. But in the store seems effective by being able to video my swing and review in slow mo, any thoughts?

Been hitting the range every couple of days and the gold bears are anything but easy to hit, just doesn't feel comfortable. Granted my swing is far from consistent, but I'm excited to try out the new Adams set I have coming this week.

The SW i have is am older one that's pretty well beat up and is 60*. I'll keep an eye out for a newer one and make that my next addition, thanks!

Or even possibly just going with a 4w.

OK going to be bothersome again, sorry! With what I've purchased so far this is what I have: Adams A7os irons 4h, 5h, 6-pw, gw Nike SQ sumo driver 460, 10.5 r flex 44" I have my dads older mizuno blade putter which I'm not very great with but it feels pretty good so I think that's more personal error than anything so I'll probably use that for now. I know I don't need a full 14 club set to play but what should I maybe keep an eye out for to add? I also have an old sw from my dads clubs I may carry just to have it. Should I look at maybe some fairway woods or just use play what I have and fill in the gaps as I find what's missing that would help me?

I'll definitely look into the ping's if the Adams don't work out for me for whatever reason. Also managed to get a Nike SQ Sumo driver on eBay for $35 shipped so I'm pretty happy about that, it's been shortened to 44" so I'm not sure how much that will affect me, the burner I was using was 45" but we'll see.

Well ended up picking up a set of Adams A7os 4h, 5h, 6-PW, GW for $140 shipped. A little more than I was planning on spending on an iron set but since it has two 4h, 5h, and GW it kind of sweetened the deal for me, I doubt the GW will be critical for me for now but the hybrids will definitely help out. They're regular flex graphite shafts. Appear to be in pretty solid shape so I'm happy. Now I just need to get a new bag and some woods and get out there!

Thanks for the advice guys I really appreciate it! Went to the range yesterday with some buddies to hit some balls and hit a set of old Cleveland ta5's and a set of older Adams idea irons and both felt pretty good. My swing still isn't where it needs to be consistently but when I did have a good feeling swing it felt great and the ball went where I wanted it to. Looking around it seems the ta5's are pretty old clubs but can be had very reasonable used (around $70) and the Adams in a similar price range for the older ones. Any thoughts on quality of these clubs?

Anyone in the area played out at Orange County National?

Looks like their the old gold near clubs that are mediocre at best and not worth much, oh well the search continues.

Trying to upload pics sorry, see if this works.

Actually just left my dads house and he had a bunch of extra clubs he said I could have, found this set of irons 2-9, the look old and pretty well worn and not forgiving at all but anyone know about these? If nothing else maybe worth trading in totwatds a different set?

Oh trust me plenty of trash talking is done but it's all in good fun, and I think having good company is one of the reasons I like it so much! I think I'll go try a few sets of irons at some local shops and get a feel for what works best for me then try and source an inexpensive used set. Really appreciate all the help guys I'll keep ya posted.

Thanks for the advice I'm lucky enough to live in a good area with a PGA store, Edwin watts, Edwin watts outlet and a few others nearby so I'll probably go that route at first. Also my father in law is a superintendent of a course about an hour away so I'll probably be enlisting his help as well.

Yeah I went to the one in Altamonte yesterday actually, they were pretty cleared out and what was left seemed a little overpriced.

Also, what's everyone's thoughts on used sites like 3ballls, 2ndswing, or even eBay. Keep in mind I don't need top of the line clubs, just good clubs to get me started and I can start replacing as my game improves and it's warranted.

Hey guys so new here and pretty new to golf. Anyways my experience is very low and I'm still learning the game, recently got married and the guys in the family golf regularly and took me out and even though I didn't do the greatest I had a blast, which brings me to now. I've been using my dads old wilson clubs which I'm guessing are from the 90s, possibly earlier (has wooden woods). I'm looking to get a more modern set, I plan on going to the range maybe weekly (possibly playing 18 holes a month) and taking some lessons but would like a set of my own clubs. Basically my question is I'm looking for recommendations on clubs to get me started. I'll be buying used due to being on a very tight budget and probably won't need a full set to start, I'd honestly rather take the money I save and spend on range balls. So any suggestions for a used iron set that's forgiving but not so forgiving that I develop bad habits? I'm thinking 6-PW, SW, 5h, driver, 5w, and I'll just use my dad's old mizuno putter, will also be picking up a new bag as his old heavy leather bag has seen better days. Also, I'm 25, 5'11" and fairly strong but swing a little slower as i'm more focused on form rather than killing the ball for now. Thanks in advance guys!

Hey guys I'm Mike and new here and fairly new to the game. I'm 25 and have very little experience. I watched my dad play growing up and learned a little from him but was never interested until recently. Just got married and most of the guys golf and took me along to start playing and had a blast! So I look forward to playing more often and learning. Currently using my dads ancient gear and looking around to try to piece together a more modern used set of clubs (the actual wooden driver is a bit outdated) any tips? BTW I'm 25, a Marine Corps veteran and live in Central Florida.
