Ok maybe I need to classify "day one" as a day that I decided I wanted to learn the game past the level of the annual scramble, or an occasional round with a buddy that plays. I personally worked a couple seasons at courses using hand me downs and rentals before I bought my first set.I'd be willing to bet 99% of us had a set of dedicated clubs we used from day one. Borrowed, bought or otherwise. Having the same set makes it much easier to work on what matters most, a repeatable full swing. He's got his starter set so it's time to golf.
Without clubs, how would I practice after the lessons?
Personally I would have taken lessons and been fitted before spending any serious money on Golf Clubs
I taught plenty of people that didn't have clubs, they were loaned a 7 iron and were welcome to use it as often as they like. There are ways to get it done.

I personally disagree with this. Unless someone is going to lend you some clubs, you will need to buy some for your lessons. I dont think that buying a set of cheap clubs, then getting better and then buying a new set of more expensive clubs is cost effective. I think he did the right thing with the adjustable woods and hopefully he got some SGI/GI irons to go with it. Just my opinion...
Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, and new to golf, so forgive me for a very naive question!
I just purchased a set of clubs, some wedges, some hybrids and a 3-wood. Based on conversations with a bunch of golfers, I decided to get a 3-wood to start off with and work my way up to a driver. Common consensus with my mates was that the driver was a hard club to hit, and I'd find a 3-wood easier.
So, I purchased the R11 3-wood with the thought that the versatility/adjustability of the club would make it easier for me to hit straight and possibly negate some errors in my swing.
I'm kind of having second thoughts now, thinking that this will handicap me in the long run by hiding a poor swing. For example, lets say I have a nice slice. I can adjust the loft and face angle to get rid of the slice. Now I'm happy. BUT, that doesn't change the fact that I have problems with my swing, which would return immediately should I get a different wood or driver that doesn't compensate for it.
So, should I forget all that and just be happy with letting the club fix my error and enjoy my golf, or should I keep the wood on all "neutral" settings (so it's not helping me) and learn to fix my swing first? Obviously this will take a lot longer time wise but would have greater benefits in the long run.
Naturally, I'd tell myself to learn it right at the beginning. But part of me says if the technology is there, use it.
What do you all think?
