Just be careful who you buy off. Lad in the office has some nice Callaway clubs but they are definitely fake.

Buy off someone leaving if you can....OS - Iknow you're not in DXB but someone you know here might be able to help?

Cleveland and Wilson are good value options. Golf Housewill stock em.

Callaway, Ping and Taylormade premium sticks.

I've been a Ping iron player for as long as I remember. Don't think I could change.

I smash around with MD Clubs. I'm proper shit though. Until I can regularly hit in the lower half of the 90's...I won't be buying new clubs.

Nothing worse than someone turning up with spanking new clubs and all new shirts and shorts and being worse than me. Instant wanker alert.

Scamp - lol.

I've been borrowing the club Ping clubs, but I can't really justify that kind of outlay until I know if I will truly continue.

Get some cheap bits and pieces then. Get some lessons. Get playing.

Until you start hacking round a course lessons are worthless, until you've had some sort of instruction (lessons / friends etc) hacking round a course is worthless.

My mrs is a very good golfer and has helped me in the last couple of weeks with my irons, I'd lost control of my grip, she saw it, I didn't. Really useful to play with someoen better than you.

Get playing though, or you'll never know.

It not a bad approach. Maybe keep doing that for another few months and see how you go... It you do get bitten by the bug then buy....
