You can create your own set by adding and dropping clubs that best fits you. Hybrids are a good choice for beginners as they are a mixture of irons and woods, and hence easier and lighter to hit.
With today’s economic conditions and not knowing if you’ll even have a job the next day. Most people will buy off the rack standard clubs. It won’t improve their golf game one iota and they don’t care. They believe what’s the difference! Their not there to improve upon their golf swing mechanics. Your there instead to have fun being with others you care about playing with, and enjoying the great outdoors.
For a beginner having a full set that isn’t necessary. Most of the golfers playing with used or racked clubs are just beginning to play and don’t need expensive golf clubs. Depending upon your budget, you can choose either, pre-owned clubs or new. Buying cheap or discounted golf clubs can be a very good choice for starters. Next get yourself a dozen golf balls. They don’t have to be expensive brands like Callaway, Nike, Taylormade or Titleist. Using golf brands like Bridgestone, Slazenger, Srixion and TopFlite will cost 1/4 the price then the leading brands. Golf bags don’t have to be expensive either. You can find them at garage sales or flee markets. If you buy them in a store, you don’t need oversized compartment bags that have 10 different storage areas.
