I'm looking to start playing Golf!

You bought all that for almost what you could have bought a used set of another brand for...and you didn't even get clubs. So did you win? Yea I guess if you're going to be a caddy.

I was checking Craigslist and the prices they have for used sets are crazy, I found one set so far I might like =] Pretty good set at that. So I got a new bag at a pretty great price.. if you do the math I got the bag for 60 the glove and hats for 10 each. (I was going to buy hats regardless) so yes, I got a great deal. ;)
 
You might have a little trouble finding a decent set of used left handed clubs just because there are fewer left handed players to begin with. Whatever you do, I'd recommend sticking with a set that has steel shafts and runs from 3 iron to Pitching Wedge. You can play around with higher loft wedges or hybred clubs down the line. I wouldn't spend too much on a putter or driver, because chances are you'll end up replacing both several times before you get one you like - you'll probably stick with the irons for a while, so it makes sense to spend a few more bucks there.

Check out the Callaway preowned store:

Also I'm not too sure because I am a Righty but you may have got the wrong glove... Anyone else know for sure?

[background=rgb(250, 250, 250)]Alright guys.. while thrifting I came across a booth at an antique mall that sold nothing but golf things.. I got a package deal of this Callaway golf bag, Callaway glove, Callaway couple hats and balls for $90 (all brand new btw) tell me I'm not a good bargain hunter ;D I might get a set of clubs from the guy but he leant me a couple clubs to try out. What a nice guy![/background]

I was thinking the same thing.
 
Alright guys I got my first set it consists of Titleist irons, Pinemeadow hybrid, TaylorMade drivers, and some no name putter (I'll get a better one later). I just traded for a straight razor, and I already made the money back from the accesories (bag, gloves, hats, balls) so total money spent.. $0 ;D
(I found out I like to play right handed better)

Already updated. I chose to golf righty, it feels more confortable.. I also play guitar righty.
 
Not a bad starter set.

My dad is the same way, does everything left handed but golfs right handed.

Nice, Yea I'm left hand dominant but for some reason I like golfing, playing my guitar, and throwing a football righty.. lmao.
 
Great pick up for a starter set. The 975 driver is a classic, and at 11.5* will be a good beginner driver.

I remember going through about 10 975's when I played in college. I would get tired of playing a certain loft/shaft and because we got them so cheap, I'd just order another. Those were the days.

Very nice and thanks! I can't wait to go golfing at Herman Park in the museum district of Houston. I started putting a bit and I hit the ball with my driver once already.. lol I just need to work on my posture and swing a bit.
 
TAKE A LESSON!!!

Thanks man! I plan to take a few lessons!
 
I second the lessons. Learn how to swing the right way before you develop bad habits. I wish I had done this and didn't have to spend the last 3 years unlearning what I was doing the first 10.
