 Hi everyone,

I had a good day at the driving range and i did a 18 hole course over the weekend.. My new problem is weather  to invest in lessons or purchase a kick ass set of clubs.  

What do you all think the best investment would be fopr a beginner?

First off start the lessons,the pro will give you the proper instructions accordiing to your abilities to play the game.
Then ask his advice about what clubs he would recommend to you,there are so many different types for players of all abilities.From blades to cavity backs that have a bigger sweet spot and more forgiving.
Also the type of shaft you require, then comes the loft and lies of the clubs
All this will be done if you have the clubs Custom Fitted by reputable dealer like Ping or Taylor Made.
Clubs that look Kick Ass are no good if you cant use them,my club's are custom fitted and it was worth every penny spent. I have used the same set for about 8 years and not even considered changing them.
Gett it right now it will only give you peace of mind on the course.

Lessons, lessons, lessons and more lessons!!!  

If you don't know how to use your golf clubs then you could have any set you want and still not get a good score.

Most golf clubs will have some demo clubs that you could take out on the course (or range)

Remember that you can have you own clubs adjusted for loft and lie.
