What are you looking for Vanessa? I'm guessing graphite shafts. Complete set including bag? Just irons?If they were only left handed

I used to be in the biz. Might be able to help.
good
$350 for a used beginner set is about $150.00 over priced. You can get new half decent brand name sets at golf town for $299.00, and even cheaper at costco. They are worth no more than $150-$200.00 at the very tops.
It really depends on how much you play. Don't go for the cheap Costco set. When it breaks, you have no follow up. If you are only going to play once or twice a year at the company golf tournament, for example, you might be able to get away with a cheaper set but if you plan on getting serious, it is a good idea to invest a little more and get something that you know is good quality. Sort of like the $300 SP's versus the $100 micros. You get what you pay for.......
good
Like I said I'm terrible with numbers. But this is no different with buying a house or car, unless you accept the price as written in stone.
Throw me a reasonable and fair number and I may counter with something better.
I guess I should have said that I added Driver,3 wood,2 iron,sand wedge and a few golf tubes.

not to turn it into a pissing match but....the beginner set from costco is usually is usually top flight, or orlimar full sets with bag and putter for under $300.00, or you can get a set of callaway x22 irons for $299.00 there as well. Both options are a far cry from a a $100.00 micro. Plus when you wrap one of your clubs around a tree because you're frustrated as hell as a beginner, you can take them back and they will give you a refund no questoins asked.
cough/cough bullshit cough/cough
How does he get the ball to go thru the windmill at the right time?
if he can play par with, I assume just a putter, iron and a driver/wood on 7000/yds plus then he should be playing golf for a living
Do you only have 3 fingers or is it 3 toes to count with?
Which one of those does he putt with, or is he so good that it just goes in the hole everytime when he hits it towards the green?
The putter is considered a club
really? then why do they usually carry 14? and use at least half every round? and still not break par?
I never said it wasn't possible, anything is possible, one day hubba/hunka might write a review
I can see actual pros do it on the courses we play, I highly doubt they could do it on a TPC course setup
and like I said if he's that good, he should still be playing golf for a living, even on the 3rd rate bottom of the barrel Canadian Tour
cause if he's that good, just think what he could do with 14
or is he already a millionaire banging waitresses that are a 6 maybe a 7 at best while his Swedish wife stays at home looking after the 2 young kids? lol
lol, I play the game.
They carry 14 clubs because only a fool would carry less than the rules allow, especially when they aren't actually carrying them themselves
Pro's carry 3 or four wedges, scoring clubs, the majority of shots are from 100 yrds in and only a fool would play without a putter, your buddy putts better than the pros without a putter?
unless your 12inches from the cup everytime, you aren't going to make many putts with a driver or wedge or a 7 iron
the pro's only make 50% from 7'10'ft, they make significantly more 1 putts from 3 to 4ft in, but the % of 2 and 3 putts also goes up far more significantly from over 8ft and out, so once again, bullshit when the guy isn't using a putter and unless he's hitting it within a few feet of the cup every hole, assuming he's hitting all the fairways and greens in regulation every hole, is his name Kim Jong-il, hahah
Probability notes based on 2010 Baseline
A player's chance of one-putting drops 20 percent when moving from 3 feet back to 5 feet.
Just under 8 feet: At the 7-foot, 10-inch mark, it's 50/50 whether players will one or two putt.
11 feet: Players have a 1 in 3 chance of one-putting from 11 feet (34 percent).
14 feet: Players have a 3 in 4 chance of two-putt or better from 14 feet (75 percent).
25 feet: Players have a 1 in 10 chance of one-putting from 25 feet (10 percent).
33 feet: The point at which a player is expected to two-putt. This is interesting because while there is an 88 percent chance of a two-putt from this distance, it is the point at which a player is equally likely to one-putt or three-putt (6 percent each way)
40 Feet: Players have a 1 in 10 chance of three-putting from 40 feet (10 percent).
73 Feet: Players have a 1 in 3 chance of three-putting from 73 feet (33 percent).
as for many amateur's playing par with 3 clubs, bullshit, maybe on cow pasture flat courses, once in a blue moon, consistently on different quality courses that are 7000 plus yards from the back tees, bullshit
less than 10% of golfers shoot less than a 100
