I've taken a few lessons, and played one round of golf. I'd like to buy a set of clubs and I am wondering what approach to take? I'd like to spend ~500 so that knocks the custom rack out.
I've been looking on CL but most stuff seems to be a hodgepodge of junk.
Costco has a nice set, but I'd need a bag...
Costco - Callaway Golf® 11-piece X24 Set with Regular Flex 10.5° Driver
Golf Galaxy and academy have box sets, but I'm not sure of those, most are brands I haven't seen.
I played with a set of Nike VR_S Rental clubs at Magnolia Grove in Mobile and really liked them, but they are way $$$...
So what do you guys suggest for the occasional player. Young guy, about 6' tall. Probably will be playing a few times a month at best. Spending more time on the driving range as it cools off.
