It depends upon your age as far as the clubs to start off with because they have clubs for children as well as adults.\nYou may want to just start off with a 1,3,and 5 wood set for your woods. As far as your irons, you may want to start off with a set with a 3,5,7, and 9 iron as well as a pitching wedge. Also, find yourself a putter that you are comfortable handling, for putting is a huge part of the sport. As far as balls, you may want to start off with a dozen, along with a towel to wipe your balls and clubs clean with. And also a bag large enough to consume all of your equipment that is the right size for you to carry if you will be carrying your clubs on the course instead of carrying them in a cart.

I will look for the distance first , if it is 150 yards from the hole I will use 7 or 8 iron . If the wind is blowing towards me I will use 7 iron , If the wind is blowing towards the green I will use 8 iron . Also, if you are facing a short Par 4 (about 280 yards) you can use driver to hit the ball straight to the hole, but becareful, if your driving technique is not good( always slice) then, I will suggest you to use 3 wood then use a sand wedge to chip the ball to the green and putt for birdie . By the way , if you want to test wheather the wind is blowing towards the hole or towards you , you just need to pick up some grass from the fairway or rough , and see how the grass moves in direction, if the grass goes towards you, it means that the wind is blowing towards you, if the grass goes towards the hole, it means that the wind is blowing to the hole, so try this method and give me 10 marks for the best answer .

On a 6200 yard course, that's about 3.5 miles.  Factor in walking between greens and tees and let's add another 60 yards a hole so that's about .6 miles, so we're up to 4.1 miles.  Now consider that courses are measured in a straight line from mid tee to front of green and consider I hit the damn ball all over the place, let's take that 4.1 miles and multiply it by a factor of 1.3, so we're up to 5.3 miles.  And consider that often balls are oddly hit in the woods or whatever danger lurks around the fairway and you need to tromp back and forth, back and forth, avoiding snakes and other hostile creatures and that's another .5 miles.  So we're up to 5.8 miles.  And finally imagine that since you have other obstacles like lakes and creeks that require you to veer from the straight and narrow and you have to wander around the green pretending you have a clue which way the putt will break, let's add another .3 miles.  So we're up to 6.1 miles.  And just for good measure, let's assume you have to walk to and from the car to the clubhouse then out to the first tee and let's call that .15 miles.  So I guess about 6.25 miles.  Since you ought to play that in about 4 hours, that's pretty good aerobic exercise.

PartyCrasher:\n\nThese answers are well thought out. But I would recommend a bit different set makeup for you. \n\nIrons: 5-Sand Wedge (56 degree SW).\n\nMake sure to get a cavity backed set, something with offset. If you tell the people at the golf store that you're looking for a forgiving set of irons that's cavity backed and offset, they'll be able to help you. \n\nWoods and hybrids:\n\nGet an 18 degree 5 wood, a 21 degree 7 wood, and two hybrid clubs (these are a cross between a wood and iron) Hybrids: 22 and 25 degree. These are much easier to hit and much more forgiving than long irons. They will make the game easier for you starting out. \n\nGet at least a 13 degree driver, with as big a head as possible, to make it easier to hit. Make sure you get it from a major manufacturer, the off brands may look the same, but their quality control is terrble. \n\nAny 34 or 35 inch putter that looks good to you, one that looks like a Ping Anser is a good choice. Almost all the major manufacturers have a design that copies the original Ping putter. \n\nThis leaves you with thirteen clubs. You can add one more later because the limit is 14, but I would start with this and see how it goes. This set will not be cheap, you will probably spend over 1000.00 easily. \n\nYou might want to see what irons and woods you like at the golf store and then check ebay and see if you can get them used. Just make sure they're not too beat up!! \n\nThe January 2006 issue of Golf Magazine has an article that I referenced for this recommendation, pick it up and use it as a guide to begin your club purchases! \n\nHave fun!!!
