Hi All,

Great website you have here, and very informative.

I picked up golf around 5 years ago when I bought a 2nd hand half set of Howson Derbys (3,5,7,9,PW,SW,1W,3W,5W) from a colleague, and played a couple of times.

Since moving to Ireland couple years ago, have played a few more times, especially since a par 3 opened up 5 mins away. Have also picked up some cheap clubs from a department store to fill in the gaps.

After reading a lot of info on the web (most of it from here), have decided to take up a few lessons, and then buying some new clubs after that.

I wondered what advice anyone would have to what I should look for?

I spoke to a pro at a local club who suggested getting a complete set (cost around €200). But I would rather spend more and make up a set. I'm not to worried about driver/woods or putter at the moment, as I get most use from the irons. Have been leaning towards the Callaway Big Berthas, or Mizuno MX-17s (or 19s now). What is the opinion of these? or any others that might suit.

Thanks,

Rob
