Golf Club Reccomendations?
-
First off, I'm not the best golfer in the world[^]. Sometimes, shots like this[^] prove to be a challenge for me. Having said that, my current set up clubs are hand-me-down hand-me-downs. I'm sure that a better set would improve my game some. I am in need of a new driver and some woods (my irons are OK). I think I'm willing to spend somewhere in the $500 - $600 dollar range. Any reccomendations on a decent set of clubs for a relatively amateur golfer? Chris LaQuerre eBusiness Projects Leader

Talk to a Golf Pro. The clubs you buy will depend on your strength and body type and the only way to know if clubs will be any good is to try a bunch out. Don't go for distance clubs, go for accuracy and feel. There was an article in a recent golfing magazine that challenged a bunch of guys in the know to do exactly what you are trying to do. I forget the magazine, but search around and it should pop up. Well worth the read. So saying, if you can get your hands on any of the older Calloway Big Bertha driver or woods then do it. cheers, Chris Maunder

Don't talk to a Pro, they will try to sell you what gives them the best commission. :-) 1. It's important that your Irons have uniform variations from PW through to 3 or 2. Although you are best leaving a 2 or 3 in your bag. Your woods may come seperately from the irons but should overlap in distance of the lowest wood and the top iron. Whatever clubs you get, you must feel comfortable with. Calloway, Ping, Wilson, are probably the brands I prefer most. Before purchasing a set see if you can play a couple of holes with them, or make a purchase at a driving range. Regardz Colin J Davies

I agree with Chris. Talk to a pro and have him fit you to something that is going to work for you. Alternatively, go to a retailer with a driving range (we have a few of those up here) and hit everything they have until you find something you like. As far as a personal reccommendation, I unloaded my 3 and 5 wood this year and bought last years model Nike 4 wood on clearance. 3 was always too much and I don't recall ever hitting that 5. It is the best hitting wood I have ever owned. If you decide after trying a few that you can hit the Callaways well and the price tag becomes an issue, try their pre-owned club site[^]. Ed Atwell
