I gotta buy golf clubs...

[pnoon]

My
Get yourself a set (I think it has a special name-CRS) that consists of a driver, 3-wood, 3, 5, 7, and 9-iron, and a putter. Minimal investment until you develop some basic skills and learn how to use the clubs. If you find you take to the game, then invest in a 14 club set.
3 different wedges for a beginner? Not necessary.
A 2-iron? Reminds me of the joke about what to do if you are on the golf course and it begins to thunder and lightning. Stand in the middle of the fairway and hold your 2 iron straight up in the air. Because even God can't hit a 2 iron.

Flame suit on.

You beat me to it, brother, except I always heard it was a 1-iron.

I agree that used is the way to go, for now anyway. Just make sure the grips are still in good condition.

I do love to play, Peter. I could hit the ball a ton when I was a kid and played pretty often. The 12th hole of Boulder Creek is right out our morning room window, and I can literally walk on whenever I want. It's a short walk to go up and get a cart.
Lisa already has clubs and she'd love to go play. The only reason we haven't is cause I don't have any clubs.
From what I've seen, a set of $1000 clubs usually resells from the garage at $200, so it's not too big an investment to get started. I'll definately play, even if I only hit every other hole, cause all our friends and family play. Plus we can drive the cart right over here to beer up when necessary, they'll all appreciate that.
It's good exercise and it'll force me to smoke some good cigars. I really can't lose.

Not a bad way to start. Plus by the time you've used this half set for a while you'll have developed some preferences and will have a good frame of reference when buying a full set. Heck you might just want to fill out the one you have, or go an entirely different direction. Either way your risk (cost) is minimal.

Good advice Peter.
