Just be realistic. You are going to be brand new golfers. It doesn't make sense to buy an expensive set. I recommend that you check out garage sales. You should start with a 5, 7, 9, PW and SW for irons. Woods should be limited to a three wood. You will need a putter, also. Pick sizes that feel comfortable. If you are going to use a ten finger grip be sure to get the clubs re-gripped with a fatter grip. That will cost you about $3 per club.

The simplest golf swing that I know of is something called Natural Golf. Do not make the mistake of buying their CDs on line. I m sure you can find the book titled Natural Golf by Peter Fox ISBN 1-57028-125-4. Costs about $15.

Get the clubs, read the book and go to the driving range. After you feel comfortable hitting the ball about 100 yards straight start playing Turtle Mound and the other level one courses. Enjoy yourselves you are going to be terrible for about a year. Do not keep score until you are in your second year of play.

Hope this helps/
