I'm still an amateur to golf and I just started going to the driving range. It's pretty fun, I finally made it past 100yds. I'm looking into buying a club for the driving range. SO can someone tell me which one to get? Like a best bang for the buck kinda club. I'm looking at btw. $100-$200. And I've seen all different shapes, someone wanna elaborate on that subject? I think the ones for driving are the humongous end ones right? But I've seen some ppl. use the flat ones and they could get past 100 yds. easily? And another thing, I always scoop the floor before my swing, why is that?

 

How about a starter kit? I'm pretty new at golf also, I just go to the driving range every now and then. As a graduation present, my cousins bought me a golf set for starters. They said it cost like $300, and included a bag. Since I'm not pro (yet ), this simple set is fine with me.

 

If you live anywhere near a "Golfsmith" shop - go talk to one of their salespeople. I have found them very helpful. You can even hit the clubs there.

Spent two days at their golf school in Austin, TX. Best instruction I ever had.

I would strongly recommend lessons from the start. Then you won't have tall the bad habits the rest of us have! Have fun. Swing hard!

 

Don't know where you are but assuming you're in a warmer part of the world I suggest going to a driving range that *sells* clubs. There are many around here that you can leave your drivers license and use 2 or 3 clubs for only the price of the bucket of balls.

Really I'd suggest (like above) to go to Costco and buy a cheap set of Spaldings or something similar. Even better geta penny saver and buy some used.

You should really be able to get a whole set, including woods for something in the range of 200-300 dollars new or 100-200 used.

 

if you have a set already, just stick with that until you get better. take that money and get some lessons. you'll hit a lot further with the right technique, even with crappy clubs.

Too true...

 

Though I do agree with the above statement, I would suggest you go out and have a set tailored for you. If you are on the tall-side like I am, you'll find that using regular length clubs will often hinder your arm rotation (the club will find the ball sooner than your arms). I had a set tailored for my height and I have been using it ever since. BTW, it doesn't cost extra for a club maker to custom fit a set for you, you'll just have to wait a few weeks, well worth it in my opinion.

 

puh-leeeease. Tailored clubs for the guy who's trying to break "100"....... yards!!!!!

Come on... give him (and us) a break. He wants t break into the game, he doesn't need $1000 clubs
