Probably buying some tonight. Any suggestions for someone with up to $600 to spend (for a bag, irons, woods, putter)?
I have golfed a couple of times a year for the past 20 yrs (I'm 32), but I am not a good player. I intend to take lessons this summer and take my game up a notch. I need new clubs, my old ones are literally from 1965. Suggestions? |

Wait until you take your lesson - then ask the pro for advice on clubs for you. Your lesson will be so basic that the clubs you have in your hands won't matter anyway.

I agree with nolan. For the price, that is a very good starter set.
If you want to be a good player, GET CUSTOM FITTED CLUBS. This is imperative. Either drop the $350 on nolan's set or similar deal and get fitted after your lessons , or get fitted after the lessons and advice from instructor. I think a large part of your decision hinges upon how good do you want to become: Average to above-average = nolan's suggestion good to great = custom fitting and brand o' choice (TM, Ping, Callaway, etc.) Good luck! |

My plan (as of now) is to purchase from Dick's, they have a big sale on and would fit the clubs for me gratis; so I probably won't be buying online (unless the price difference is *so* huge).
A friend recommended the following brands: Titliest DCI, Taylor Made, Calloway, Nike, Cleveland, Hogan, Ping Any pitfalls if I just shop for these brands and try to stay in my range? Any suggestions for widely available/quality knockoff brands? |

[/ QUOTE ] knockoff brands are crap, but there's no [censored] way you're gonna stay under your budget with those brands buying everything new. my reccomendation would be to find the following used: tommy armour 845/ping eye2 irons cleveland/titleist vokey wedges calloway/taylormade/titleist woods ping/titleist putter |

I have Wilson staff Ultra .45's, and love them. The Armour .845s and Ping Eye 2's were great suggestions, too. I like a classic iron design. You don't want to be playing with garden hoes. If you don't play a lot, don't spend a ton of money.

Don't get knockoffs. In terms of quality, all the major brands are basically the same, the only thing that matters is if you like it and it's custom fitted.
P.S. - Don't. Get. Knockoffs. |

[/ QUOTE ] i don't know that specific model, but the wilson pre-fat shaft stuff tended to be pretty good. i can't look at the newer stuff though, so ymmv. also the titleist dci 962's or mizuno t-zoid pro's are nice as well. |
