Practice on your swing to maximize on your distance.\n\nIf you land on the rough, every time you swing...let's say a 300 yard driver, even you it as hard as possible, you're only using 60% of the club's max distance. So using a driver in the rough will only give you a max of 180 yards.\n\nAs for in the sand, you're only using 75% potential or 225 yards. Basically you need to do lots of math when using your clubs in order to get your game in the 80s.

None, Save the $250.00 bucks and use $99.00 of it to sign up for Link Up 2 Golf or First Swing.  Go to www.playgolfamerica.com and find a program in your area.  They will supply the equipment.  They will teach you everything you need to know and take you out on the course a couple times.  Make sure when you sign up that they do take you out on the course.  During this time you will get to hit several types of clubs.  \n\nThings to think about\n1. Budget\n2. How often will you play\n3. Clubs you hit that you like\n\nI even suggest going to some demo days have them fit you for clubs.  Once you know what you want you can look for great deals on E-bay, Play it again sports, or newspaper.  \n\nYou can always buy a cheap set with the understanding you will get another set in a couple month.  The cheaper sets do not have a resale value.

Divide them up into Team Lots and list them on eBay. Your late 80's cards are next to worthless and the only way you're going to be able to unload them is to mix them in with cards of more appeal; team lots is the best way to go.

The clubs are fine the most important thing is making sure you have the correct one.  Trying out several and being fit is the key.  You have to find the club that looks good, feels good and does the job with your regular swing.  You can always sign up for a free golf lesson with one of your local PGA pros at www.playgolfamerica.com if your having trouble hitting them.  My first option would be have the checked out and switched out if it's not to late.

Some believe that the best way is to go straight for lessons .\n\nI think you need to just go to a driving range a few times and hit some balls, also read up on the rules and ettequette of the game which is very important. There are a great deal of web sites to show and explain the proper grip and swing so that should get you started.\n\nOnce you have done this I then would go for some lessons and after the lessons get a set of clubs fitted. Its always good to play golf with someone that is fairly good and enjoys the game because you can learn a lot from them by simply watching.\n\nJust remember, it wont happen over night, be patient and enjoy the journey into this great game.\n\nLeon

At any local Sportmart, Sports Authority, or equivalent, you can get a set of Dunlop's for about 200 bucks.  It should include all clubs, putter, and the BAG.  Dunlop sells a lot of these package deals.  They will only last you about a year, but then you shouldn't suck at golf, and you'll want some high quality clubs.  Make sure to clean them after every round, as they are not exactly the best metal and they will discolor or rust.  They make a great starter set.

shorten your backswing and make a conscious effort to swing through the ball( also called releasing the club)\nGo to the driving range and try this, just focusing on making good solid contact with a good follow through and don't try and kill it. nice easy swings and see how far it goes.

Your game is going to change a lot, it sounds like your going to be playing a lot.  May is free golf lesson month you can sign up at www.playgolfamerica.com to get a lesson with a local PGA pro.  I think a good 3 wood and maybe a Hybird would be the best things for you.  Even if you purchased the right driver for you now, it may not be the one for you by the end of the season.  Once you get down to the 90's you can start looking for a good driver.
