Thread: Noob Golf questions!!

Alright guys.. while thrifting I came across a booth at an antique mall that sold nothing but golf things.. I got a package deal of this Callaway golf bag, Callaway glove, Callaway couple hats and balls for $90 (all brand new btw) tell me I'm not a good bargain hunter ;D I might get a set of clubs from the guy but he leant me a couple clubs to try out. What a nice guy!

Very nice! Congrats! That's a nicer bag than I have.

Nice bag!

Another alternative to buying used clubs is to buy a set of clones. Ive been golfing for a while but was never really into spending extreme amounts of money on the clubs (mainly for their names). Instead I spent about $250 on a full set of irons and a driver that are clones of the Taylormade R7's (CGB Max on the driver).

Alright guys I got my first set it consists of Titleist irons, Pinemeadow hybrid, TaylorMade drivers, and some no name putter (i'll get a better one later). I just traded for a straight razor. and I already made the money back from the accesories (bag, gloves, hats, balls) so total money spent.. $0 ;D

That's a nice set of clubs.

Are the shafts for your irons steel or graphite?

Good!

If you upgrade your putter, give serious consideration to a Ping. Don't get the most expensive one, but in my experience they are functional, well-balanced and get the job done.

I actually found this putter for $25 should I get it?

Putters, like straight razors, are a very personal decision. Don't rush into a decision to buy it, until you've tried it out.

Take it to a putting green at a local golf course, along with some of your favorite golf balls, and try it out. If you like how it feels, the balance and how it strikes the ball, then get it.

Nice set! Especially for $0 lol
Pinemeadow is the clone company all of my set came from. Real stand up company if you have issues and they will generally do what they can to help with any situation.
