Beginner Golf Set?
Hey guys, looking to get a buddy of mine a set of golf clubs (woods and irons included preferred) for Christmas. looking to spend about 300 to 500 before taxes. Just wondering what is a good set to get? He is a total beginner and wants to learn and get into the game? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I would go to Golftown or Sportchek, you'll definitely be able to find something within your budget. Wilson irons are always a good beginner set.

Last time I was there they still had a few Wilson complete sets at Chuck Brown's in Bells Corners at 50% off their already drastically-reduced prices. Would be worth checking out ASAP.

Although every one loves shiny new clubs, they only look that way for a short time. The other option is to save money and get a better quality oem set by taking advantage of the many different sets that become available here.
There are many well respected sellers.
Money saved could result in better quality, or more well known used set.
p.s. (geez seems like a perfect spot to tell you, to just wait 3 days and a new set will be available from Geoff, but hey I don't know him, so I would never take a jab at him).

Oh you guys.. Just to let you all know as part of my CHA (club hos anonymous) program I am seeing somebody over the winter holidays in an attempt to cure my addiction.
Who am I kidding, its part of the enjoyment of the sport for me. SSSHHHHH don't tell my sponsor"A life lived in fear of the new and the untried is not a life lived to its fullest." M.Pare 10/09/08

Your too nice geoff, must be a nice guy.
Logged in and saw you were last reply. winced a little in preparation, but no pain. If it means anything I have been bugged in past about having an extra set or two around.
I am kinda excited that I am just down to a few extra putters, 2 extra wedges, and a hybrid likely on its way out.
Purging can be kinda therapeutic, especially now that I realize I can't buy a game (just lessons )
Cheers, Shark

Well, for a beginner you can always find some good used clubs. That's what i did at first, i bought some cobra irons, an old big bertha driver, and cost me 200 dollars.

No one is getting hurt and if I can get a few chuckles out of my response than what is the harm?
But at the risk of being warned about thread jacking, sorry Dan , I'll throw my two cents in.
I did the same as buckylasek. I didn't buy used, but I bought a new set that was really cheap. Just in case I didn't like the game when I first started out. Turned out I really enjoyed it and have been looking for the perfect clubs since, and probably will until I can no longer enjoy this game. So that would be my recommendation.
And what do you mean you can't buy a game?????

bucky, what I meant was I didn't invest a lot of money when I took up the game. You said you spent only $200 when you started (even though you got name brand). I didn't get name brand but spent minimal cash in case I didn't like the sport.
