Default Golf...

Anyone/everyone here golf? I am planning to make it my "big expenditure project" of 2004. I am looking at all those cheap sets you can buy from places like Sport Chek and so on. I'd like to get into it for $500 or less, not counting the cost of actual games... I have a ride-on with height-adjustable blade, thinking I'll make myself a putting range and so on.

Yup, I'm a hockey guy myself but golf is eh. okay. You don't need all the clubs to start off with. You could easily play a par 3 with only a club or two and a putter. That's probably good enough to start off practicing. I found I play like adam sandler in the movie happy gilmore so im sticking with hockey. I threw my 7 iron 80yrds at the driving range last year so that was the last time I attempted golf for life.

Look in the buy and sell for a used set.

I would not recommend buying from sportchek or any other non golf only retailer.

Id PM Deb and find out what shes selling.

Greatest Game !!! ... no other sport like it ... truly a match against yourself and the course ... Wendells advice is a sage one ... a good set of clubs will allow you to pursue this fine sport for years to come

Cheers
