Use some punctuation? It is very difficult to read your post.

As for the clubs what about second hand or are you wanting a full set, are you a member of a club etc etc.

Oh and welcome to the forum.

I`m just a recreational golfer, i play about 3 or 4 times a month.
I had thought about a full set of new clubs (without a bag !)

I would recommend going to a local pro shop or range and having the pro take a look at your swing and sell you a decent second hand set.

Personally would use the budget on a set of last year or older Benross or MD Irons, perhaps a setwith hydrids, then add the rest as you save up. Another £30 will get you a Benross VeloCT wood or driver, £30 will get a Benross or MD putter etc.

Thank you for the help,i think i`ll take a trip to my local range and see what advice they have.

A friend bought some Prosimmon clubs i liked the feel of them, another friend has got a set of Wilson and they to felt good.

Before parting with my hard earned money i`ll take some professional advice.

Do you think i may have to up my budget a bit ?

Wow out of breath, now. At that long sentance. Yes get pro advice. Secondhand would be the best root. You may get top end clubs. At budget price.

The trouble with a budget set is once your game improves and you want to invest in something a bit more long term you have to fork out again adn teh re-sale on budget clubs is almost nil. If it were me I'd try and stretch the budget a bit and get a decent set of 2nd hand ones from a good pro shop near you after getting some advice on what would suit
