Going to pick up a set of TM Burner 2.0s, since their new models just came out and I can get them pretty cheap. Unless someone has any other ideas.

Then going to join this place http://www.reservegolf.com/

i would check craigslist. i got a full set on tech 27r and a nike sasquatch 460cc driver for only 80 bucks with a brand new bag

well, a couple of things actually

for starters, if you are a person that carries there own bag, I would suggest getting the double strap instead of a single strap for your carry bag.

for gloves. It depends how hardcore you wanna be/prep

def. get yourself at least one pair of all weather playing gloves. usually these are a pair of gloves, not just one glove. if you plan on playing in the rain alot, I'd suggest getting two pairs of all weather gloves.

also get yourself at least one pair of regular playing gloves, if not have two.

as for clubs, any clubs made after 2003ish are pretty much the same. it doesnt matter how big your damn driver is unless you are a pro. distance is made with using your whole body. your game is one with your shortest clubs, not your longest ones.

a new club may feel great trying it out, but after a few runs it may loose its appeal and you'lle end up with a club on craigslist again.

before buying golf clubs try them out at a place that has an inside net, or even better a driving range, waste afew buckets of balls on the demo club.

also to note, depenidng upon the club your joining, some clubs allow members to sell there clubs in the proshop, so you could possibly find a great deal there

also to note, if you havent played in a long time or if you have never had a straight drive that often, do yourself a favor and leave your driver at home.

also to note, if your course is ever looking for a gc superintendent

I wouldn't recommend you if they were

I hear gloves do help a ton, I am just getting into it myself. Been going to the driving range almost everyday for a few weeks now
