Good afternoon. Completely new to golfing, I’m looking to buy a box set to start out. Should I invest in a 9 piece set, or 12? Thanks in advance!

Just get a random used set and make sure you like it. The box sets aren’t great value vs better used clubs

Figure out price and immediate goals (e.g., play right away, learn irons first, etc.) then use eBay, global golf, Facebook marketplace and send any deals you find to a golf friend or Facebook group to see how good a deal it is. You can build a pretty good bag of “used” clubs that’ll last for awhile. And if you give up golf, just resell which will be better than a box set like topflite.

If you don’t want to be bothered buying 3rd party, a box set is okay but if you get serious you’ll want to replace way before you get value out of them.

Would definitely recommend used as a starting point, maybe even just irons or a wedge to get started. Wouldn’t recommend a driver and other woods/hybrids until you build some confidence.

I got a set of used game-improvement irons in 2016—callaway xr. Im now an 18 handicap and they still work great for me. I think I paid like $300 for them.

Go to your local Pro, get some lessons and buy a cheap, used set of clubs from them. Upgrade later.

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
