Help please! I neeed to buy a set of beginner clubs for my 16yo son. He's my same height and proportions about six foot, so I think anything that fits me will fit him.
I have tried many many tries to hit golf balls consistently. It has never worked out for me, even with lessons and all the money you can throw at a thing like that. I'll be able to tell if a club fits me I guess, which should be close enough for boy.
He's only played once with his friends, and he wants a cheap FB Marketplace set, which is fine with me.
Or is a Play it Again Sports type of place a better bet? Or a real golf store?
I think he just needs the bare minimum - irons, a driver, a putter, and a wedge, a bag....that's probably it. I doubt he even needs shoes yet.
Does $150 sound like the right price for a used set?
Also, I met a guy at the gym a couple of weeks ago. He's an instructor and he gave me his card for lessons. $100/hr. I asked if that was a good price or not. He said it was a great price if I ask around.
Any advice on equipment and lessons appreciated!
