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.

Here is the thing about your first set of clubs, you need to play 15 or 20 sometimes more before you will have a good idea what type of clubs you want.  You first set needs to be something with a bigger sweet spot that is more forgiving.   I think a used set sometimes is best.  The reason to go with a cheap set at first is so you don't lose a lot of money.  Once you have played enough to know what you want, go to as many demo days as you can.  Have them fit you.  All the sets mention are about the same but one person may perfer one over the other.  I"m sure you can get the same sets used for $80.00.  I have a lot of club info links on my blog roll

If you subscribe to Golf Magazine, there is a clubtest on a certain type of club every month, such as putters or fairway woods.  Look at websites like golfsmith.com or golfmart.com, find the club you want, and read the reviews.  Or go to a golf store and try the clubs out for yourself.  That is the best way.

First, get your shift key fixed, would you submit an email to your boss that was formatted like your question?\n\nOK, A complete set consists of 14 clubs (no more). The set is made up of a combination of: \n\nWoods (including the Driver and Fairway Woods)\nHybrid or Utility Club\nIrons \nWedges\nPutter\n\nHere's a typical set:\nDriver\n3 Wood\n5 Wood\n\nHybrid or Utility Club\n\n3,4,5,6,7,8,9 Irons\nPitching, Approach, Sand Wedges\nPutter\n\nThe set will also include a golf bag to carry your clubs, balls and accessories.\n\nSince you'll be with the boss, you'll want to remember all of the accessories that are actually necessities on the course:\n\nBalls (buy at least a dozen, if you are just starting, try Noodles)\nTees (2 3/4" for most drivers, don't buy the shorter ones)\nA ball marker\nGreens mender\nGolf towels\nGolf golf\nGolf shoes \n\nDon't wear jeans or cut-offs. Dockers are nice. Also a "golf shirt" is nice, not a t-shirt.\n\nBefore you go, you should get at least one lesson, or it will be a very long day for you and your boss.\n\nTake more money than you think you will need for extras like drinks, tips, bets, etc.\n\nHave fun!

Go to your local antique store or an appraiser.  They have methods of finding out where an item was made, how old it is, etc. often with their services for free.  Hope this helps.

The best answer that I can give you is DO NOT BUY CLUBS as a gift.!!!!\n\nI know thats not the answer you want but I promise it is the best.\nBuying clubs without knowing the golfer's abilities or preferences is like buying clothes for a teenager. It would be a guess if you got the right set.\n\nThe best advice is to get a GIFT card or to buy a golf-fitting session so a pro can determine the best set for that specific golfer. \n\nYou can spend up to $1500 for a good set of clubs but that does not mean you spent your money wisely.\n\nYou might be better off buying a $500 set and $1000 in lessons!

You can use these to find the year the bike was produced. Use a search engine to find a Schwinn site that deals with the "vin code" on your bike. if you already know the model bike it is, look under that series then they will typically have the years and the serial numbers that were put on bikes made in those years. good luck, you might find out your bike is worth more than you thought... i made $100 off of one i found in the trash down the street once on ebay lol.

If you want one that old, try a local pawn shop. If they dont sell things like that, the owner might know of someone who does. If its for a personal reason like a family member was in it or something, try writing to Sports Illus. they may be able to send you a copy

You don't want to spend too much money on a beginner's set because you should outgrow them in a year or two anyway. However, you definitely want forgiving clubs which means cavity-backs. \n\nNow on to golf clubs. For beginners, I would recommend the Mizuno MX-17s. They are very forgiving. They have recently been replaced by the MX-900, so you should be able to get a good deal on the 17s new. Mizuno's are famous for the softness of their forged irons, and even though the 17's are cast not forged, they come close to the forged irons in feel. When it comes to quality, Mizuno irons cannot be beat.\n\nAnother popular beginner's set is the Pings. The new G5s are quite pricey, but you may be able to find a used set or perhaps a G2 set for a good price. The Pings are also well known for being forgiving, but they just looked too ugly for me. I couldn't stand the look of them while I still find myself admiring my MX-17s after a full year. \n\nThe Callaways, imo, are just as pricey as the Pings without their forgiveness. They don't look as good as the Mizunos either.\n\nIf you are just experimenting with golf and not sure if you will stick with it, go with the much cheaper 2nd tier brands. These include Tommy Armour, Ben Hogan, Adams, etc. They should be almost as good if not as good as the big brands but at a fraction of the price. If you decide to stick with the game after a year, you can always upgrade later.\n\nAbout fitting, it is certainly important.  Most golf stores will fit clubs for you for free if you purchase them from their store.\n\nAbout shafts, unless a golf store measures your swing speed at 95mph or higher, go with Regular Flex shafts, not the Stiff Flex. So many people have an ego issue and go with the stiff when regular is most appropriate for the majority of players.  As a beginner, I would doubt that your swing speed would be fast enough to warrant stiff flex, so don't let anyone talk you into stiff without measuring your speed first.  (And don't buy the "you'll grow into it" line ... buy what is best for you now.)\n\nRegarding woods, you wont need them if you are a true beginner.  If you have a pretty comfortable and consistent swing with your irons, then you'd be ready to move on to woods if you're not there already.\n\nHope this helps!

Go to yahoo or google and type in "custom golf clone"\nYou can get clone clubs that are just as good as their counterparts for 1/4 of the price. Plus you get it custom fitted.
