Starting Kit for Golf?

Question

I am just starting to play golf and need a set of clubs, but not sure where to start. I saw an ad on Craigslist that consists of the below:

Golf Smith stand bag

- Wilson Deep Red Driver

- Hippo 5 wood

- Nicklaus 3 wood

- Top Flite 3 through 8 irons

- Ping Eye #1 iron

- Taylor Made Bunner #2 iron

- King Cobra 52 wedge

- Sand 60 wedge

- Putter

Is this good for beginning golf? Condition is good but not sure if this will be what I need. Thanks.

Answer 1

If your just starting out.. you really don't need all this stuff.. heres a basic kit:

Golf Bag

Driver

Pitching Wedge

Sand Wedge

Putter

3 Iron

5 Iron

7 Iron

9 Iron

Golf Balls

The rest aren't used at all until you become more comfortable and better at golf.
