Why not surprise him? Take him out for lunch then stop by Sports Authority or a similar store and have him pick out his own? Does he know you are doing this? If not, it would knock his socks off. \n\n\nsome guys get all the luck.....

Each company had different clubs, Tommy Armour has gone downhill the last few years, but still has some good stuff. My suggestion is for you to hit the clubs you interested in.  Have someone check to make sure you have the proper shaft and lie.  Hit them again and if you love it buy it.

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.

As goofy or dorky as it may sound, try your local Walmart, Shopko, K-mart, and even Fleet Farm or Farm & Fleet. You could also go to a golf shop or sporting goods store, but as bad as it may sound, try the above first. They seldom carry very good equipment (i.e. clubs, shoes, etc. ), but small things like what you're looking for are at these places, and some times in great quantity.\nAlso, if you look long enough and hard enough, you may even find a golf pull cart with a ball holder already attached.

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.

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.

Woods – \nHave you tried the new Hybirds out?  If not hit a 3 and 4.  They take the place of long irons.  I think you will like it, almost everyone does.  \n\nWedges – Your wedge should be a 52 or 54 and you have the 60.  I suggest you get a 56 or 58.  Check the length, I purchased a Ben Hogan SI and it was the same length as my 9 iron, so if went just as far as the wedge.  When it comes to bounce if you 60 has a lot, do the opposite with the new one.  \nGood Luck

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.

One of the best bargain for women's clubs are the Adams Idea set for women.  These are as good as the top brands but at a fraction of the price.  However, these are still not as cheap as those $200 sets.\n\nAnother option is the Callaway GES.  These have been discontinued, but they are truly excellent for female beginners.  You should still be able to find a set either online or in some stores.  They are extremely forgiving and will help beginners stay interested in the game rather than getting frustrated and quitting.  I would highly recommend the GES based on personal experience.\n\nThe Adams set comes with short irons, long hybrid irons, and woods.\n\nThe GES comes with 3 irons, 3 woods, a putter, and a bag.\n\nHope this is helpful!

I ordered clubs from both sites below including Nike blades and driver and some Titleist. I also bought Nike staff bag from Edwin Watts, although that I found other site offered cheaper price, I asked them to match the price by emailling them and they reduced the price to match. I ordered from them because they ship cheaper. Otherwise, would recommend you to visit lots of golf shop. Once a set is on sale, they could be really cheap. Play blade is better, because not many people use them, and usually they have overstocked and go on sale a lot. You just need to improve your swing to hit blade (which anyone should anyway).

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

No, they are not held to the same strict tolerances as OEM clubs. You might have 5 clubs out of your set that do not have consistent lofts and lie....you might notice over a period of time that you always hit your 8 and 9 iron good and your 7 and 6 iron bad...\n\nJust for my piece of mind, I would spend the extra couple hundred and not have to worry about equipment being the culprit behind bad shots. \n\nGood Luck!

Have you hit it, before buying it? The best club in the world may not be the best club for you depending on swing speed, body type etc. \n\nI would highly recommend going to a golf store with a hitting cage or to a range that offers demos and hitting the club before you buy it. \n\nAsk a salesperson and if they are worth their salt they will help fit you with the proper club for your game. Then you can have the option of buying it there, or if that option is too expensive, buying it elsewhere.

depends on the level of golfer.  If you are a beginner I would just get a set of inexpensive clubs that are designed for women, like Spalding or something like that.  If you are not a beginner or you take it seriously I would go with either Callaway or Cobra, and make sure you get fit by a PGA Pro.  Most women's sets consist of more fairway woods or hybrids because they are easier to hit than long irons.  I wouldn't recommend getting a 3 or 4 iron, but woods or hybrids instead.

It depends on what you are looking for.  If you want a good set of clubs that are fitted to match you.  Go to a proshop.\n\nIf you know exactly what you want but don't need to have the clubs custom fitted, try E-Bay.  For example, I bought a set of Ping I-3 irons there last year for less than $300.00.  (With Ping's find out what color code matches your stats first.) You have to be patient on E-Bay though.  Be willing to pass up one auction if you don't like the price and wait for another to come along.\nAs mentioned earlier, check the seller feedback before purchasing on E-Bay.
