Question:
I AM A 13 YEAR OLD WHO CAN’T AFFORD CALLAWAYS OR PINGS WHAT KIND OF CLUB IS GOOD FOR UNDER 250$$ ??
If you shop around at the right time, you can find great deals on clubs. Two of my friends each bought a whole set of Northwestern clubs (woods included) for $25 and $40 at the local Target store. It seems that the store was not going to sell these clubs anymore and sold the remaining few sets for $40; the $25 set was the last set and had some blemishes (I think). You can also go to garage sales and pick up some used sets for less than $50. Granted, these aren’t exactly great clubs but use these to practice until you know you really want to spend the megabucks for nice clubs. I don’t think there are any good name-brand clubs (new ones at least) that are around $250. Used, probably. New, no. Cheers, Benz — ~{E7QtEtY IqFfC(~} Die Wunderkatze

Don, I bought my first clubs when I was slightly older than you are. My don’t think that they are much more than this now). This is well under your $250 mark but don’t forget putter, bag, glove, shoes, etc. In the six years I used these clubs (In Wisconsin that equates to about three golf years due to the snow), I was able to achieve a 12 handicap. Now, 15 years later, am fortunate enough to live in Monterey, California (arguably one of the best places in the world to golf), can afford expensive clubs and have only improved about 7 strokes on my handicap! Good Luck, BZ

Rather than go out and buy cheap new clubs such as the renowned "Northwestern", I think you’d be far better off finding a set of quality used clubs. Most golf shops have and sell used sets. Even better would be to go to a local course and ask the pro where you might find a decent set. Best of all would be to find a friend that might have an old set that you could have — free. In fact, You’d be welcome to my old clubs (The Haig, 1980), if you have a way to get them. I think it matters less what style of club you get, especially if you’re just starting out (my opinion!). Just get some and go play. If you find you have choices, it would always be preferable to get a "name" brand rather than a knockoff (my opinion!). So, look for a used set of any of the following brand names (something 10-20 years old might get into your price range): Ping Titleist Hagen Hogan Tommy Armour Wilson (but lots of different quality levels here) Spalding (again, lots of different quality levels) – many, many more.

IMHO, both are very good strategies. I agree with Mark, IF you can find used clubs in your size and flex. But inexpensive, department-store OEM clubs are OK, especially for a beginner. I think it matters less what style of club you get, especially if you’re just starting out (my opinion!).
This suggests that Mark and I are close to agreement here. Best of all would be to find a friend that might have an old set that you could have — free. In fact, You’d be welcome to my old clubs (The Haig, 1980), if you have a way to get them.
GORGEOUS clubs! I have a couple (hardly a set) in my basement. They feel scrumptious when you hit them dead center. Unfortunately, with my swing, I’d be a fool to play them regularly. They don’t feel so scrumptious when you hit them off-center. That’s how it is with proper blades. But if I were getting blades, these would be high on my list. mark "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers" — Thomas Watson Jr. (Chairman, IBM), 1943.
Mark, Did you get my E-mail about this quote? Do you have a reference? Cheers! Dave
