In my opinion golf equipment is among the overrated things in the world. Equipment companies spend countless millions of dollars in an effort to convince golfers that they can shave strokes off their game by getting rid of that outdated five year old set and getting the new improved game changing set of clubs. If most golfers improved several strokes every time they bought new clubs they would largely be shooting below par by now (which is not happening). Go to globalgolf.com and search among their used golf sets. They are all rated by users, and you can get about anything you want, by manufacturer, right or left hand, steel or graphite shaft, even longer or shorter than standard. I have bought clubs through that site and they have come in excellent shape with little noticeable wear. You really don't want to rent clubs at $15 per round in my opinion, unless you simply want to try the game for a couple rounds. Good luck, it is a great game and social opportunity, but be prepared for some extra frustration in your life.
