Go to a thrift shop and select a set of clubs that feel comfortable to you. I got my wife a set of Pings with lightweight shafts, left handed, for $3 a club. If you later find you like the game, and can use something better, go for it. Otherwise your custom fitted $500 set of clubs will end up at a thrift shop 20 years from now, and some nice volunteer will have to clean the dust off them.
