Hi. I'm a beginner and I've never swung a club before. As you can probably understand, I currently own no clubs. I've seen quite a lot of conflicting advice about what clubs you need when you start playing. I've seen suggestions ranging from getting a full set of 14 clubs, to just getting a driver and a putter. I've had a look at the sets in Sports Direct and their cheapest set of clubs is a Slazenger set for £200. I've no idea if they are a respected brand or not. I've only really heard of Titleist, Callaway and TaylorMade clubs, but individual clubs from them can cost around £1000. I was hoping not to spend that much when I'm starting out. Also, does anyone have advice about beginner-friendly courses and ranges? I've found a driving range near me that offers lessons, but their website says you have to bring your own clubs. You can hire balls there but not clubs. I'm not sure why you can't hire clubs as well, but that seems to be the norm across local courses which I've researched.
