Worth a Purchase?!

Hey,

I'm interested in Getting into Golf, was wandering if these clubs http://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=30001&langId=-1&catalogId=1500001101&productId=1500215781&Trail=C%24cip%3D1500012750.Sports%2Band%2Bfitness%3EC%24cip%3D1500012841.Golf%3EC%24Brands%3DWilson.Wilson&categoryId=1500012841&clickfrom=name

would be worth buying? Are they overpriced for what your actually getting?

Any replies would be appreciated....

Cheers

Wilson are a good make so they should be fine. I'd also suggest you ask around for a place that sells 2nd hand and then go down to see what they have. Since you are only starting I'd suggest dropping the driver and maybe going for a half set of irons. A good 2nd hand set will last you longer than a cheap set of new clubs........however Wilsons are pretty good.

Cheers for the advice, is the driver bad in this package? why would you suggest dropping it?

If you are unsure about what to buy second hand you could check out your local golf shop for starter sets instead of buying off Argos. Then at least you might get a chance to hit them and get a bit of advice.

I wouldn't rush in and buy the argos clubs, I'd say there are better deals out there, especially a second hand decent set. It's a buyers market now with the bit of a down turn in the economy, there are deals to be got. Shop around.
