Here's what's currently in my bag:

Cleveland Launcher Gold Driver
Bridges Accuracy Express Irons 3-9
Ping Eye 2 Wedge
Dunlop Tour Max Putter

I've "played" on and off here and there for a while, but never really took it serious. I couldn't tell you what distances I hit with certain clubs. I just "eye it."

If I'm now wanting to really get into the game, should I go with the crappy clubs and upgrade later or go with a newer set?

Go throw 3k on a new set, you can’t go wrong.

Get fitted and go buy used stuff to your specs on clubs that are a generation behind. You could get fully decked out for under $1500.

Bridges irons???

I never thought I'd see another person with these clubs lol. They were my first set of irons when I was younger. From West Georgia Golf Company in good ole Tallapoosa, GA!

There is some truth to the statement that it's usually the Indian and not the arrows.
But the statement of why not have both is even more important.


Because you are leaving alot of technology on the table by not upgrading to something within the last 5 years.

You can get all you need for $250 since you're just starting. I'd get something very standard. Go on and get like a 910 driver, some used rocketballz irons and that will at least give you a starting point.

Your swing mechanics are more important than clubs.

i switched from blades to more forgiving i200's a couple years ago because i wasn't playing very often. it made a noticeable difference in my scores without really changing anything

My advice, get online and spend a few hundred bucks on a decent set of used irons and a decent used driver. Start playing and take a few lessons. Once you start to zero in on your mechanics, then go for a club fitting and get some nice shite when ur ready to spend the money. Getting fitted when you don’t have your best swing is completely pointless and a waste of money.

I’ll bet a teaching pro nearest you could hit a ball 200 yards with your putter
