WTB: Clubs for the Mrs

[poidda]

So, I'm thinking of buying the Mrs some clubs as she was saying she'd like to start playing. (Yes I did try and convince her tennis would be a better option). So I was thinking of buying her a cheap set for xmas. There's a fair chance they will be dust collectors in a few months, so not keen on spending to much at this point in time. If she sticks with it, then we'll upgrade down the track.

Anyone got any recommendations of what to get, and where to get them?

Cheers

Hi poidda,

Brad went to a house-of-golf style place for my first set - he had the same idea about them becoming dust collectors - I think he spent $400 all up for clubs, bag, buggy. It wasn't the cheapest set in the shop - the 2nd cheapest ;)

[poidda]

Yeah, I thinkik I'm going to do the same. At the end of the day, it's not the clubs that are important, but more like the outfit!

When I got some clubs for the missus many years ago, I went and checked out a few from the trading post. Of course, that was before I discovered ebay and forums.

Was thinking maybe these. Anyone heard anything about them?

Would think one of the package deals through a golf retailer/pro would be the best option. Get everything in the package and most will throw in or discount the extras such as balls, tees etc.

Can usually take them back for exchange if they are the wrong colour as well.

i can organise something if you are interested...

they are hippos or rams and stuff that we have at work
but they are new and they are cheap...good for beginners

Steer clear of the Hippos.... you know what chicks are like. She will turn it into you thinking she is too fat blah blah blah. At least my ex mrs would have...sheesh women! :roll:

[billybaub]

i can nikko them out if you want...the clubs arnt bad though for an iron set new at 100 bucks

You've made the mistake of not putting this on ISG. Then we could have got 20 pages of why the Mrs should / should not be fitted, 10 pages of the clone/component/oem battle, 30 pages about Ebay and then a rogue post on why she shouldn't buy clubs but get lessons instead.

Anyway I reckon she should get Titleist irons, they're made for women.

When I was looking at getting a new set I turned straight to eBay... there's a few good deals on there.

I stole my sisters instead ;)

Just get a package from your pro shop - or golf shop. They are just fine when you are starting out. I got my first set from Kmart:shock: Greg Norman mens set. You can pick up a buggy, bag and clubs for under $300. Good luck - oh with the golf and with the marriage if you start playing together:mrgreen:

[PeteyD]

Seriously talk to Billybaub as they are clearing out that shop he works in. He'll get you a good deal.

[Jarro]

give her your MP-33's mate, it's time you moved onto some serious blades :shock:

[billybaub]

too late...and how much more serious than mp33's are you going to find?

[Jarro]

it was only a joke BB ;)

[poidda]

Yeah BB fixed me up 15 minutes ago. Cheers for that.

As for the MP33's, it was nice to finish a round yesterday with the wrists in tact.

[AndyP]

Do tell. Photos? Any tour gear?

[billybaub]

set of hippos irons, 3, 5, 7 woods and a tommy armour driver...

i was gonna say jarro...i was sure i hitting mp33s the other day...ive got tommy armour blades but the mizunos were serious compared to mine

[BrisVegas]

Those MP33's make my blades look like Pings!

[Fishman Dan]

They couldn't turn out that good surely!
