I'm a golfer. Been playing golf for about six years, and played in several golf tournaments in high school. I was about a 1 handicapper but haven't played too much lately. For golf clubs, go with cast cavity-backed irons, not forged blades. Don't spend the money on the most expensive golf clubs, you can get a great deal at Edwin Watts or other golf shops buying older, brand-new clubs, that are just a few years old. In high school I bought a brand-new set of Titleist 990 irons for $400. You can always get some top-of-the-line clubs to fit your budget. I bought them about two years after they originally came out. You don't have to spend $700 to get a good, solid, set of irons. Get something foregiving, and watch your scores get lower.
