re: What was your first set of clubs?

Fun thread. Mine were my moms old clubs from when she played in high school. They were Lady Macgregor irons with grips that felt like bald rubber tires lol. Putter was an odyssey tri force blade. My grandfather bought me a taylormade driver with a steel shaft that would be a 3 wood today. It was heavy as shite lol.
Funny how we all remember every detail about our first set. Crappiest clubs but something special about em.

Wilson Staffs. Saved money from summer jobs and bought the irons, my mom bought the woods. Played my senior year in H.S. Ended up making it to state in AAA. Loved those clubs when hitting them correctly, especially the wood, woods.

They were Ping Eye 2 knockoffs.
I think I had the same clubs at some point. Think I got them in trade for the Dunlop clubs I bought at the pawn shop. The Dunlops were arguably better and a buddy wanted them. I like to keep a spare set of clubs around in case a buddy comes in from out of town and wants to play.

Some of my non-golfer buddies always say "golf is too expensive" when in reality it's about the cheapest form of entertainment you can participate in. You can spend however much you want on clubs but you can get in for a pretty nominal fee. And a $50-60 four hour round of golf comes out to about $12-15 an hour of entertainment.
Now, getting good at golf is expensive. You gotta suck and practice a lot to get any good at it.

Ignoring the box set I had from academy before I ever rally started playing…
Cleveland wedges, Apex CF16, Taylormade RBZ 3 Wood, Ping G Driver. Can’t remember the putter. It was some random blade.

Callaway X-12 irons and a Hawkeye driver and steelhead 3 wood were the first clubs I got new. Actually hit those irons from close to 15 years and loved them. I actually sold them to a buddy who still uses them to this day.
My first set was a hand-me-down iron set (Wilson, I think) from my grandfather along with 1, 3, 4, and 5 persimmon woods. Still have the woods because they're beautiful golf clubs.

My Dad’s McGregor Jack Nicklaus set. Blade irons and Persimmon Woods. Don’t remember the putter but think it was a bullseye style. Those woods could produce some glorious banana balls

Tommy Armour’s. 60 years ago. Still have the brass putter.

Starter set of Tour Edge clubs I got at Golf Connection in Lafayette.

My first set was a birthday present when I was in my late pre-teen years. I don’t remember specifically how old I was, but I remember getting them.
It was a boxed starter set from Service Merchandise…persimmon driver and 3-wood…3, 5, 7, 9 blade irons and a putter with a super deluxe gray bag with fake leather accents. Along the way, I commandeered my dads Irving King mashie 4 iron, found a tour model II 8-iron to add to the bag, and finally added the leather wrapped grip Spalding sand wedge that we used to take out in the evenings and hit on the concrete to make it spark. (Of course, Dad wasn’t terribly happy about us doing that, but it just meant he could get something else to replace it…which meant more clubs for my bag in the future.)
I didn’t have a 6 iron until I bought my first “real” set of clubs when I was junior in high school, and I never could get comfortable with hitting the 6 iron once I did have a new set.
These clubs did two things for me…it led me to the profession which I currently do now and, I believe, is the reason why I hit the ball so darn straight. I came across them not too long ago sitting in a storage closet at my parent’s house and pulled a club out and stood over it, swung it a few times and wondered to myself, “how in the world did I ever play high school golf with this raggedy set of clubs?”
I did…and I appreciate every swing that I took with them as it made me learn how to hit the ball with a butter knife connected to a steel shaft.

Knock off Tommy Armour 845s and then King Snake woods that my Dad and I assembled. This was early to mid 90s.
