What was your first set of irons?

[phillarrow]

My first ever set of golf irons were second hand Slazenger Johnny Miller.
They were small, thin and beautiful. I had them for my first three years and I think they helped me become a better iron player... because I had to be!

I'm not sure if it's ego or nostalgia, but I'd still prefer to play with clubs that look like those if I could.

Mine was a pretty basic set of Dunlop cavity back clubs, pre Ashley ownership. A good starter set. Upgraded when I knew I enjoyed the game and wanted to buy some that were a bit better.

First set was a half set of Slazenger California from Mum's Freeman's catalogue.....Not sure they really count.
When I started playing "properly" in '93 I bought a package set of Howson DJ100s..surprisingly decent but.....
First "proper" set of irons were TopFlite Tour....back when TopFlite was a decent name in the game.
Those irons were used by the likes of Ronan Rafferty and Peter Baker - Ryder Cup players..

Regal irons, 3 to SW that resembled Ping Eye 2s (in appearance only!), Fazer Firepower driver, 3w, 5w and a very odd no name putter that looked like a Zebra, but weighed 5 times more! It's a wonder I stuck with this game!

My first irons were a half set of ladies clubs my father bought me when I was about 10 years old. I got the even numbered clubs and my brother got the odd numbered clubs. Even now, I prefer using even numbered clubs. My next set were Titleist DTRs which I bought in 1984 and my next set, which are current, are my 2009 Titleist AP2s. Three sets in over 50 years of playing golf!

A rag bag of mongrels, no two clubs the same make. The 5 iron had punch holes rather than grooves.

First new set of irons were Wilson 1200 GE, first good set Mizuno Pro Originals.

 

[SyR]

A set of Swilken of St Andrews cavity sole irons.
Probably not the most forgiving irons I could learn to play with, but all I could afford at the time. Found an example picture of them on ebay.

 

[Pathetic Shark]

Mizuno Silver Cups

 

[Sats]

Quite boring as I only starting playing golf within the last 10 years. Started with a set of Cobra Baffler blades from the 80's I brought for £25

 

[Golfnut1957]

My first set were hand-me-downs from my mate who got them off his dad. No idea what make but the single "wood" wood had a fake hickory wrap on the shaft.

My first bought set were some Wilson Langer, which were quickly followed by my first new set, Wilson 1200 GE.

 

[Jensen]

A second hand set of Cobra Oversized irons that I bought in 1998.

2nd hand John Letters Swingmaster when I was about 14 years old, before that cut down clubs

 

[The Fader]

Slazenger Gary Player autograph -inherited from my Grandfather. 3 - w but missing the 8 iron. Grips as shiny as a squaddies boots.

 

[richart]

Second hand half set of Eric Brown irons and a slazenger four wood.

 

[SatchFan]

A mish-mash of golfing cutlery with grips I could see my face in. Eventually upgraded to a set of Dunlop Peter Thomson including a 1 iron with no sweet spot.

[Skytot]

Pinseekers.
My mate worked at GUS - great universal store in Mcr and got me his discount of them .

 

[putterman60]

When they used to have "GOLF SALE" In the local recreation centres i got a set of Accura irons that was in 1999....... i should have gone next door to Tesco and helped `her in doors` do the shopping instead lol

My American uncle gave me a set of Ben Hogan blades ,he was a darn good golfer

After that i wasted money on various clubs instead of lessons but hey ho
