What kind of golf clubs should I get as a beginner?

I am trying to get into golf now that I have more time away from work and some money to afford new clubs and green fees. I played in the past, but not even close to good. Just played because it was fun. Now, I am going to take lessons and try to become reasonably good, so I want to get clubs that will be good to learn with, but also be clubs that I will have for a few years. My bro-in-law recommended the new Callaway Clubs, so any info on those clubs would be greatly appreciated, or any ideas for my club selection would also be greatly appreciated!

    You probably can’t go wrong with Callaways but I wouldn’t spend that kind of money. Look on ebay or callawaygolfpreowned for a used set. I bought a set of X18s used and they were in great condition(couldn’t tell the difference from new). Go for a forgiving set of irons, ones with bigger offset and bigger heads. I guess X20s X16s and X18s fall into that category. They’re very good clubs and are easy to hit. Mishits still go pretty good distances.

    Get a higher lofted driver and some fairway woods. I like the Callaway X or X Hot fairway woods. I think they are one of the better woods on the market today. I would also look at the Cleveland HiBore.

    Get lessons also. Good luck.

    You should get used ones and then as time goes on if your a big golfer you can get more expensive clubs. But I would start out with used clubs.
