I agree with Russ. I had never golfed before when we moved here in April this year. I just completed the week long course at Palmer "New to Golf;" I'm so glad I did this before buying clubs. Maria Brooks (the instructor) was very good, and our group of 6 women had a lot of fun as well as good instruction. If you don't have clubs, Maria will give you clubs to use during the lessons. At the end of the course you get a "mini-fitting." In the process of the course I learned a lot about clubs and what would be best for me. Also, the course is good for teaching you golf rules and etiquette, as well as technique.
I was so eager to play after the course, that the next day I went out with my husband and used his clubs. YUCK! Although they are good for him, they just didn't work for me. I bought my own clubs the next day.
I bought mine from a golf outlet store on I-75 in Belleview. I also bought my golf shoes there. I got great help in choosing clubs.
There is also a "golf liquidator" store on 466 just east of Morse that was recommended to me as a good place to buy clubs.
If you can afford it, I really recommend starting first with the instruction at Palmer, then buying clubs.
Feel free to PM me if you want more info.
