What were your first set of irons

[jeardley]

What was the first NEW set of irons you bought yourself or were gifted?

Going back a bit, but i rememember saving up for ages to buy these LOL. When I got them they were my pride and joy and i spent ages cleaning them after every round.

Would love one last knock with them for old times, see how they compare to my AP's

Good memories

Petron impala bought with my national savings certificates. Got a 1/2 set of 3 and 5 wood 3, 5, 7, 9 and SW and then bought the rest bit by bit

Howson Derby.
Like swinging a lead weight on the end of garden cane.

But I managed to get down to 15 with them, so it goes to show that it's more about the man than the club.

RAM Tom Watsons. Came with the woods as well. I think they cost somewhere around £175.00 for the full set. Bloody fortune in those days.

I remember my parents buying me Wilson Sam Snead blue ridge Woods and Irons,I thought they were the Mutts Plums.....

I bought a cheap set of dunlop for 100 quid with woods and irons to start out. Not great but did the job for a couple month while I got started.

 

[Redwood]

Second hand set of Mitsushiba with graphite shafts - didn't really get on with them, so then bought a set of Hippo Plus Impact.

Mine was a set of Dunlops, full set irons, woods, putter. Could have been 65’s. Came with bag, brolly, tee’s and a dozen balls for £99. Did me for a few months as I wasn’t sure if I would still want to play after the initial interest had worn off.

Hi

My first half set were also Petron impala's which I used for many years.
Seems like this might put me at a certain age!!! Saw a half set a few months ago in a local charity shop. They did look a bit worse for wear but reminded me of when I first started playing.

 

[USER1999]

A half set of Wilson blades.

I then upgraded to the original set of Wilson 1200GEs. My first cavity backs.

My first NEW set of irons were my Titleist AP2s which I got earlier this year. 40+ years of playing the game and only my fourth set of irons.

Fixed for you Bob.

MacGregor Tourney's were my first new set, replaced old set of Eric Brown's

 

[MizunoGreyhound]

First new set was a set of Viking; cavity backs and looked a bit like the Pings I really hankered for. Bought from Swan golf at Yardley in Birmingham many years ago. Sadly no longer trading.

Mizuno Astron, bought new when I was 13 years old - I loved those clubs and used them to win my club championship when I was 22.

 

[Deleted member 1418]

First set of irons I actually bought myself were Mizuno TP9's! Before that I had a set of Slazenger Californian's that I think my parents bought me from Argos!! Had those babies for about 5 or 6 years before I saved up enough to purchase the TP9's.

 

[Aztecs27]

Some Howson "set" of junior clubs.

Then one I'd grown to adult height (aged 11 or 12) my uncle was kind enough to donate these bad boys:

And so began my love affair with Lynx.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

Ben Sayers kids set of some kind. Can't remember the specifics but it had a wood, some irons and a putter all wrapped up in a lovely red leather pencil bag. It must have been twenty years ago now so the memories are a little fuzzy around the edges.
