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.

If you have no budgetary limits, you have many, many options.  I would recommend the Ping G5's (if you can stand their looks) or the Mizuno Mx-900s.  These are both extremely forgiving clubs that are geared toward the beginner.  Expect to spend close to a thousand bucks, though.\n\nFor those on a budget, the Adams Idea OS set for men is probably the best product on the market.  They are very forgiving clubs that are very good quality for a good price.  The set includes wood-like hybrids for the 3 and 4 irons, iron-like hybrids for the 5 and 6 irons, and regular cavity backs for your 7-PW irons. This set can be found on eBay for $369 or mid-$400's retail.\n\nIf you are just trying out golf experimentally, then buy a set of used clubs.  Make sure they have cavity backs though, because used or not, you want the most forgiving clubs as a beginner.\n\nHope this is helpful!

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!!!

The guy above me is correct. You can buy them from Golfsmith here:\n\nhttp://www.golfsmith.com/products/GP000081\n\nIn my opinion the quality has slipped since they were acquired by Golfsmith....try to get an older used one...

I know that Adams is making a very friendly set of clubs now for women. A lot of the club manufacturers are leaning toward the hybrid clubs to replace the lower irons.  I don't agree with that idea.  They should give you an option.\n\n One of the best inexpensive sets that I ever played with were called "AST".  The set was about $300 and was worth far more than that.  I would suggest that you visit your local public course that sells clubs and try several.  They will let you try them on the range. Then I would suggest you visit your local E-Bay and attempt to buy a used set if possible until you feel comfortable paying for a custom set.  I would not suggest getting knockoffs!

You know, just a basic $150 golf set is what you need, nothing fancy. At least not until you get better. You're actually much better off spending your money on lessons. Once you do get better, you'll be able to test clubs out at a local pro shop and find clubs that will suit your style of play.\n\nGood luck. It's a great game that teaches us to be humble.

What kind is it?  Tell me what it says on the putter... Email me I'll try to help price it for you.  I've owned a couple of golf shops and have some knowledge of worthy putters.

I made my decision by going to Golfsmith and hit an assortment of clubs. I found the Callaway Fusion irons to be most consistent for me and the easiest to hit.  The other cool thing is Golfsmith has a 100 day satisfaction policy which lets you have piece of mind regarding the club choice.

some of the woods are good i know people who think there the best..boom boom used to use them.  to be honest i would prefer to play something like snake eyes as opposed to getting raped by a big company for lots of money. The shaft is a huge factor as well as the head. I was once told(how true it is i don't know but it sounds about right) that with the big companys 70% of cost goes into research but if youy sell it 70%is what shaft you have in it\nCheck out TOM WISHON"S clubs. he used to design for golfsmith who designs snakeeyes. I think it is wishongolf.com. some of his stuff is good\n\nHope i helped

Best thing is for you to hit the local sports shop and get some assistance from the golf department associate. They are usually knowledgeable about the brands they sell and can handpick the best few for beginners. They usually have a small area where you can take a few practice swings...I know a Sports Authority near me that has an actual locked cage so you can take real shots into a net. There is no "best" brand out there because every person has a different body type, different stance/swing, and different comfort zone. Some like metal shafts, others don't. The set you "like" the most will be the "best" for you.

I would highly reccomend not buying a Callaway driver at all. Their sweet spots are too small. For $80, i would buy it. I bought a big bertha once, and hated it. No distance, whatsoever. After that, I switched over to an Adams GT2, worth about $70, and i hit 290 yard drives, and I'm 14 years old!

I WOULD LOOK AT HYBRID IRONS AND FAIRWAY WOODS, ADAMS GOLF I WOULD RECOMMEND THEY ARE DAM GOOD MANUFACTURES OF GOLF CLUBS, GET FITTED FOR THEM. LENGTH, LIE, GRIP SIZE, FLEX. BAD BACK OR NOT YOU NEED THE TOOLS TO GET YOU AROUND THE COURSE, HAVE YOUR NEXT SET BUILT TO YOUR GAME, NOT OFF THE RACK. ON YOUR BACK PROBLEM I DONT KNOW THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE MAGNETS BUT YAHOO SEARCH, JIM COLBERT ON THE CHAMPIONS TOUR SWEARS BY THEM, GRIP IT AN RIP IT
