The official golf thread

i cant wait for my scotty cameron to get her so i can go play a round and bump for me wanting a titleist oil can spin milled and or a ping isi becu wedge

 

What Cameron are you getting!?

 

california del mar should be here wednesday

 

Sooooo....newb alert.
Figured this thread would help me. Anyone have suggestions about a good beginner set? What to get, brands, etc? I want something that will last a while and be pretty forgiving since I'm new, and I've already decided that I will be going to my local shop to get fitted and not getting a random set from Dick's or Academy. Suggestions please?

 

about how much money do you wanna spend flyingface

 

That sounds pretty good. I know I don't want to spend over a grand for sure.

 

I'll definitely check out the ping beginner line. This definitely helps get a rough idea at what I should be looking for. Thanks for the help.

 

Played my first game of the season yesterday and shot 80 on a par 72. On the 18th hole I thought I was going to break 80 for the first time in my life. All I had to do was get a bogey or better. Hit a great drive and was only 140 from the pin. Hit my second shot and it went 20 yards into the freekin' creek. Ahhhhhhhh!! Ended up with a double and tied my personal best. Oh well ...... maybe next time!!

i havent played in over a year since high school, was on the team but quit, wish i never did

 

You won't go wrong with the Ping's if thats what you decide. I swing Ping Zing irons and they are pretty darn forgiving and hit great. Putt with a Ping Ansr and its great. Got a TaylorMade 5 Hybrid, and a Clevland Launcher driver. Love my irons +1 for Ping. You will be happy if thats what you decide to go with.

 

Yeah I never relaxed and anything over par just pissed me off lol

 

bump on looking for a used wedge

 

x_y, check out http://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/ for used clubs. I saved $90 on a set of 3 "like-new" wedges vs buying new-in-the-store, and they are certified and warrantied. They have more than just Callaway. If you want another brand browse the Other Brands section.

 

Pretty cool site. Might get some stuff from there after I get fitted.

 

flyingface an older set but i had some of these and loved them very forgiving http://cgi.ebay.com/Cleveland-TA6-I...30575840870?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash=item4cf7db0666

 

ill take some pics of my clubs tomorrow just pick up 2 new wedges

 

The other day i went pawn shopping for a new set of irons. I was shooting Big bertha irons but they were really old and starting to crack on the shafts. So came upon a set of Callaway x-14 Steelheads for 150 bucks, when i told them i wanted them they asked if i wanted the bag and the drivers for another 50 bucks. I said sure.... turns out the driver was a Ping G-10, Callaway Big Bertha Fusion 7 wood (brand freakin new) and an Adams golf Insight A4. When i got home and looked at the drivers i was freakin amazed i got such a good deal on them. All the clubs are in great shape.

Played my first round a couple of days ago with them, the irons hit great. The driver took me awhile to get used to because im not used to big drivers, once i got the hang of it tho I was hitting decent. Oh yea the bag is pretty nice to...

 

if i can find my camera ill take some pics of my new clubs and my extra ones
