Beginners' clubs

[Waitforme]

My son is looking to buy a set of clubs for a Very occasional game of golf.
He has never played 18 holes but has fancied golf for a few years now and reckons first step is to get a set so he can go to the range etc.
Amazon do a Wilson set , driver , 3w , 4 hy, 6 -sw and for about £250.
Seems like a reasonable deal to me, any thoughts ?

If it really only going to be very occasionally I would go the second hand route.

Reasonable deal for someone that will only play once in a blue moon but not sure the build quality will be great. I know American Golf have done a Wilson starter set before and know someone (think it was also mentioned here historically) that had a problem. Second hand would be a better bet to get something that would not only last longer but would stand the test if he took a bigger interest in the game

Personally i'd look at 2nd hand gear, theres always a bargain to be had.

i reckon you'll get a better set up for 250 than what that wilson set offers.

infact ive got a Ping i15 driver that you can have but it'll need a new shaft.

Near Edzell ?? I can almost fit him out with a whole set, I'm in Dundee if you're interested. Maxfli Revolution Irons, Titleist driver/3 Wood, various putters.

Obviously there is a small fee

Good to see you back though, where you been ?

On the range.....

Best get some practise in, no wanting you thrashing around my place embarrassing me.

Do you think they will be on Big Greens by then ?

I'd settle for the course to be open by then.

Oh is it that bad ?

Maybe we can arrange the Scottish meet at another venue ?

Still 18 inches of snow in the bunker on the 3rd on Friday, think a lot will have shifted today though.
