Hi folks
Very open question, so hope to get a lot of suggestions, will help educate me on what I might like when it comes to talking to a golf pro or a golf shop person.
I'm 42, been playing good club tennis for 15 years solid now since I came back to that sport in late 20's, NOW I want to get back to playing golf.
I played a minor amount with my Dad growing up, and since I was 18 have done the typical *pick up a club every 3-4 years* kinda thing, have a couple 9-holes, and that's that.
I used to be able to get round in low-mid 20's, so I could swing a club, but had no tuition so it was all self taught.
My wife and I now want to start playing together, and are arranging golf lessons as I type.
My question is around golf sets. There are soooooo many clubs and varieties out there, where do I start in determining what equipment to buy\start with?
We are both quite commited to this (We enjoy a walk!) and will ultimately be happy to buy 2 full sets of clubs and join a club, so if determining the clubs you like is literally a suck it and see approach, and I should expect to go through a number of sets over the course of 5 years, then just say so.
But essentially, please give me some pointers on the approach people take when determining the equipment to start with, bearing in mind I'm pretty much a beginner.
Cheers all
