Well, we are going to have to solve this, because I want to play golf with you. I was taller too.. I was 5'9" when I was younger and I still play with mens length clubs. Not well, but I use THAT as my excuse, or one of them.

I think...starting with a five, seven, nine, pitching wedge, and a five wood, putter, even if they didn't match would be a good start. Cheap used good brand is better than cheap new stiff...just my opinion.

Realize that in the beginning you will cuss and throw them..........
