Lady Lefty

Any particular make that you'd recommend or advise me to avoid?

Unfortunatly I am in the UK and we don't have Maltby, I have been in 3 shops so far (2 pro shops and a big superstore) and none of them had anything in stock - one of the pros was able to put a gents taylor burner head onto a ladies shaft for me but other than that my chances of getting a try is remote.

The problem is most golf shops don't stock ladies left handed clubs so they'd have to order them in for me. Therefore they aren't going to be willing to order 2 or 3 sets knowing that they are only going to sell one set. I really need some advice on which clubs to go for. I have just had another thought. Rather than buying a beginners boxed set would I be better to put together a better quality half set ?

I have fanced taking up golf for a while, as a child I was taken to a driving range a few time by my grandfather but I never had access to any childs lefty clubs... options were play right with kids clubs or left with a gents driver. However I have always been put of with the idea that I would have to buy clubs to properly try (I don't know any lefty golfers never mind lady leftys). However I have decided to go for it and I managed to borrow a custom club from my local pro shop, which I have taken to the driving range last night and I have my first proper lesson booked for tomorrow. I have spoken to two pro shops, the one at the range where I'll have my lesson tomorrow and the one where he let me borrow the club which he put together it's a taylormade ladies shalf with gents burner head 6 iron. Both have said that a boxed beginners set would be the best place to start. Which are the better beginner clubs Rams or Top-flite? And how will they compare to my "custom 6 iron" that I have borrowed.

Me I'm 35 yet to progress beyond the driving range but had my first visit for about 22 years yesterday!

Me I'm a surveyor, helps to pay for the toys that I want - i.e. my first set of clubs

My mother in law a keen golfer went into the pro shop to ask for new grips, and was asked had she "washed them". He then showed her how to wash the grips with soapy water and a gentle nail brush. She was surprized by this as was my hubby who'd never heard of it either
