Clubs for a mates son

[goughy]

So the son of a mate of mine is getting into golf. He's had a crappy junior set and needs to move up a bit. He has some sort of driver and 3 wood, at normal length. But at least needs most of everything else.

He's turning 14 and is only about 150cm tall, but I think he'd just grip up a normal set for a while. He's mostly enjoying bashing around a bit but his dad has joined him up to my club as a junior where he can get lessons etc. His dad used to play off 7 till he chopped off a fair number of fingers a decade + ago.

So I'm wondering what might be out there? He's saved himself $200 for some clubs, and I think he was just gonna go to cash converters or something but I said I'd ask here first and see what people had lying around (I'm looking at you Daves ). I might even chip in and cover the shipping for him if needed. I'm sure I've seen some old carry bag in their shed of his, so I don't think he needs that, though if there was something available in a package let me know too.

Thanks all.

Id bet my last dollar ferret will chime in here....

Is he left handed?

[Ferrins]

All over this if he is right handed

[goughy]

Exactly what I thought. The lefty part is the killer!

[Ferrins]

I think Dave is looking to reduce his sets to 50.

[Moe Norman]

so is he a leftie or not?

If he is right handed, I have wedges and irons he can pretty much have, and I've definitely got an ogio carry bag I was going to throw away

[goughy]

No, he's definitely a lefty. That's why I posted in the Left Handed Pro Shop, and the comments about Daves!

[Yossarian]

It looks like the normal pro shop when it is the top thread. Hence my confusion.

[goughy]

Ahhhh! I didn't even realise there was a lefties pro shop till I went to post this! I didn't bother posting in the title that he was a lefty cause of that.

[Daves]

I am sure I can put a bag together for him. Give me a bit more detail, and I will see what I can come up with.

[Moe Norman]

oh, didn't realise there was a different pro shop

[goughy]

Neither did I! Maybe it doesn't look so obvious when you view new posts.

I am sure I can put a bag together for him. Give me a bit more detail, and I will see what I can come up with.

What sort of stuff would you like to know? His dad said he had some big headed thing and another wood he already found (I'm assuming he means driver and 3 wood) though if there was something with a full set matched up or something I don't think it would be a problem. While he's not tall (yet) I think they're full length and I think he could just grip up on a set for a while. They're not like us who would change stuff often. His dad played off 7 and was using his clubs he bought when he was 18 (he's 58 now) though he hasn't played since chopping his fingers off. His dad saw my birdie balls and bought him a couple a dozen for xmas that he whacks around their yard. But he is gonna go to the clinics at our club and I reckon try some of the kids comps as well. He's not a show off'y kid so wouldn't be worried about the latest and greatest.

But he hasn't played much actual golf at the club as yet. He's got $200 to spend and at the least needs irons, wedges (maybe just a sandy) and a putter. If it was a full set I don't think it would be an issue. I'm sure he's got a bag but if there was something you wanted to get rid of that would go with anything that'd be no issue. I'll cover what ever in shipping so he can have his own money go to his clubs.

He's had some cheap junior clubs and has been mucking around their property with his dad for a while. I think a fresh set would be one of those things that would spark the interest even further. Anything else I can tell you, just let me know. As per usual, an economy of words is not something I understand

[Daves]

OK, I will see what I can put together. Does he carry?, or does he have a buggy?

[goughy]

Don't remember seeing a buggy anywhere. I remember seeing an old carry bag in their shed with his old junior clubs in it. Nothing special.

[Moe Norman]

I've definitely got an ogio carry bag that needs a home

[goughy]

No probs Moe. I'll see what comes together with what he's got to spend.

[Moe Norman]

Its a freebie.

[WBennett]

Its a freebie.

Onya Moe.

[goughy]

Its a freebie.

Whoops sorry! Very very generous. Well of course that's great. I should actually be in brissie one day the week after next for a teeth check up. Maybe I could sort something out with you then for a pickup?

[Daves]

OK, I was fill this list in as I get a chance to see what I have in the garage that will suit;

Bag: Ogio Carry - Moe Norman
Driver: ?
Fairway: ?
Hybrid(s): ?
Irons: Cobra S3 Max 5 - GW with UST 60g Lite shafts - Daves
Wedge(s): ?
Putter: ?

[goughy]

Champions!

[PeteyD]

i might have an old anser lefty putter, nothing flash but can chuck it in if I can find it.

[Moe Norman]

The bag is currently at perci's place. I dropped it there with some clubs he is regripping for me.

Its nothing flash, just an old ogio grom stand bag, but should do the trick. I've got some callaway balls I'll never use too, will chuck them in.

If it's in the next week or so, just grab the bag from perc. Otherwise my place is fine
