    I'm new to golf (at the age of 29) and interested in buying a set of clubs + bag etc. I've been looking at various brands and sites but still really confused.

    What exactly are beginner clubs? I play guitar and let me tell you I would stay from stuff labeled as 'beginner" because its generally rubbish! is this the same for clubs?

    Any tips on what to avoid? brands? how would the attached/below rate out of 10

    Whats your budget, how often do you plan to play, stuff like that will give a better answer back to you.

    Have a set of spalding irons (no woods) be fine for starting off !

    No need to go splashing the cash untill you know you enjoy golf, Seen so many people run out buy clubs and all the gear only to end up leaving them in the shed.

    Have offered these b4 so for:eek: so for a box of " nike vapour" balls(€20) there urs if you want.
