June 9, 201610 yr Author Here you go at @PurplePride92...this is a good, solid set of clubs right around the price you said you were looking for, with hybrids for the long irons (which should really help you being a beginner). Free shipping. Will be extremely hard to find a better deal, if there is one out there on new, brand names clubs. Have a set of Taylor Made's if you want to spend a little more money for $299.00, but these Adams should do exactly what you want. Adams Blue Combo Irons Set (Graphite/Steel/7 Pieces) by Adams Golf - Golf Iron Sets By the way, I have used these guys a bunch and am actually getting an Adams 3 wood in the mail today that I just ordered.
June 9, 201610 yr I just ordered this set of clubs off of Amazon. Callaway Strata-12 piece set Reviews said it is a great starter set and I got it for 201.18 off of Amazon. It doesn't have the 2-4 irons so I'll use my old ones until I feel the urge to replace them. I figured as much as it costs for a whole set of irons that this 12 piece set would suit me fine for a couple of years.
June 9, 201610 yr Author Or...I just built you a set on-line @PurplePride92 at Hireko Golf...Acer HS High Trajectory...these are super game improvement irons...$206.15. Shipping will be a few more bucks, maybe $20.00 or so. Put the same shafts that I have in mine that I REALLY like. Can upgrade grips (if you want a certain color or something) for a few extra bucks. Just a thought. This kind of stuff is fun for me.

I'd shelve the 2-4 iron though, you don't need to be swinging those anyway, find you a couple of used hybrids to replace those.

I converted my recognition money to Amazon gift card and got my whole new set of clubs for free.
June 9, 201610 yr Author 2-4 iron hybrids? Yes, a newbie/high handicapper has no business trying to hit low lofted irons like that, especially in this day and age with hybrids. Just going to frustrate you. Look around and research the hybrids out there...some look more like an iron, some look more like a fairway wood. There are fans of both and both are far easier to hit than the traditional low lofted iron, but I think the fairway wood style hybrids are a little easier to hit of the two, and most would agree.
June 9, 201610 yr The clubs in pap's bag are: Driver 3-wood 3-hybrid 4-hybrid 4 iron through PW SW, LW (still can't find a gap wedge I like) Putter

I've since upgraded but they were good enough to get me hooked.

June 10, 201610 yr Played Greenbrier in Lexington today. There aren't many golf courses in KY I could play everyday, but that's one of them. Absolutely awesome golf course. Shot 82 from the tips. Really wasn't that bad considering I played three holes 6 over. Played with a guy that started double, double and then played the next 16 holes 7 under. It was fun to watch.
June 12, 201610 yr Played the Mill Course today in Cincy. Fun course, not especially long or hard (70.7 course rating and 121 slope from the back tees, which I played...so not the hardest course). Had my 3rd best round ever in relation to par. I shot a 71 - even par (2 birdies and 2 bogeys). I have only broke par twice in my life - 2 under at Lassing Pointe in NKY and 1 under at Deer Run in Cincy. FUN DAY TODAY:banana:!!!!

June 13, 201610 yr Playing Valhalla Wednesday morning, haven't played in several weeks due to the fish biting so well. Walking with a caddie, first time I've played the course. Hope I don't embarrass myself.
June 14, 201610 yr My set came in yesterday. It has a driver, 3 wood, 5 hybrid, 6-9 iron, PW and putter.
