StrokerAce Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Not sure if this has been done before but thought it'd be a fun little experiment. Baseline: -You have a bag and need clubs to put in it. -You are an average to below average player (~20hcp) and the clubs you own are junk that you're going to sell at your next yard sale. -You have shoes, and all that other crap. -You've never had lessons or any of that other junk and someone gave you some clubs and your buddies talked you into coming out with them on the weekends so that they can take your money in a weekly cash game and you're tired of losing to them. How do you spend your $ and in which order (clubs, lessons, fitting, new vs used etc.) ?? ...you only have 1000 dollars... that's it !

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well this is cool --- First one's obvious - you need clubs to put in the bag or you can't play. If I'm a 20 I'd hit the Bay and find some SGI clubs of recent vintage that could be had at a very attractive price -- Wilson Staff Defy iron/hybrid set can be had new for under $300. If I wanted to spend a bit more I'd look for a used set of Bridgestone JGR hybrid irons. Next would be driver, FW and putter - also on the Bay or a place like 2nd Swing in Minneapolis. They'll fit you for free when you buy something - you won't have your choice of shafts or anything, but they will help you sort out what driver might be best for you. I'd set a budget of $600 to $700 on the sticks, the rest would go to lessons. If I could get sticks for less than $500, all the better...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well I hate to ask a qualifying question but I will.....Is it a $1,000 period to spend, or I'm given a $1,000 cash and can add some of my own to it. If it's the latter, I'm going to the Titleist Manchester Lane facility, for a full bag fitting, I think about $600 if I recall correctly for a half day session that covers every club in the bag. I take that info and put $400 toward the club(s) they felt I needed the most, say irons. Then I purchase with my own dollars the rest of the clubs as my budget allows. If it's just $1,000 period and I can't spend any of my own beyond that. I'm probably going a similar route that Barbajo mentioned. Buying last years or the previous years models in the GI lines. Maybe spending $300 or less on irons, $150 on driver, $75 or so on a FW and hybrid. That leaves about $400 for wedges and a putter, and I think I can make that happen with maybe even one of them being new and shiny to give me something to feel good about.

hckymeyer Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 For this mythical setup I'd get a lesson first. Take the pro's advice about clubs and see what happens there. If the clubs truly are junk then I'm looking at the bay, global golf, cally preowned, 2nd swing etc for new (to me) sticks. I'm hoping to get an entire setup for sub $500. Then I'm using the rest of the money on another lesson with the new sticks and greens fees. I've heard lessons are important, but I've never had one and I'm doing OK with that. I'm a believer that to get better you really need to play more. You'll figure some stuff out on your own and get some tweaks from friends that you trust. Also if your friends are consistently taking your money then the handicaps aren't set up properly for the game. I'm asking for more strokes as well. On a side note if this was not a mythical question and someone actually gave me a $1000 for only golf related purchases I'd buy 2 KBS C-Taper wedge shafts for clubs I already want to reshaft. I'd go roll the Evnroll putters and most likely come home with an ER5. Then I'm using the rest for bar tabs at the club Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

Maverickping Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hard to divide the money up but first thing would be lessons, followed by buying what will work, ideally a fitting could be had too. For a $1000.00 to spend it could be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethO Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I kinda did this when I first started. I bought affordable GI irons, a sand wedge, used driver, and used 3 wood. The rest I spent on lessons.

Kanoito Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think I would go hckymeyer's way 1st lesson to get pro's feedback Then buy used gear off the bay or something. Can get a full bag under $500 easily I should still have around $400-450 left, I would spend them all on lessons spread apart, about one every 2 weeks. And the time in between I would work hard practicing the lesson.

I was actually impressed with some of these prices. That was kind of fun as well. Ive gotten some deals. The best part is most of these clubs have reached the bottom of their value so you should be able to resell them for pretty close to what you paid in a year or so to upgrade.

Dana Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I did something like that 10 years ago. Took my clubs and went to a "club analysis, swing analysis, putting analysis , lesson" in White Plains NY. At the time it was a $200 fee. When all was said and done they recommended a few different sets of game improvement clubs to help my game. I went with the Cleveland club set and it was a big improvement. I was joining a private CC and I was willing to spend some $ to make myself a better golfer, problem was I did not spend enough $. It was a very thorough fitting, even showed me where my putter was lined up when I thought it was lined up at the hole, it was off by 8" in 15 feet. { Laser set up} My club fitter was a guy by the name of Andrew Stroukoff, yes really. He was a world class athlete and represented the USA in the 1976 winter Olympics. Nothing like having a professional guide you thru getting the right equipment..

HeathS16 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Clubs first: driver something used like a Ping G10 great older model and won't break the bank while still getting a good club. Irons: spend a bit more here as more shots are hit here than anywhere. I'd go with titleist AP1 712s from 2013 great quality irons. For FW something like what Barbajo said, on the bay second hand prolly stick with ping. Putter I love the taylormade spider. Just like Barbajo if I can get out of all that below $600-700 the rest is lessons. That was fun. Wish I had $1000!

PlaidJacket Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Not sure if this has been done before but thought it'd be a fun little experiment. Baseline: -You have a bag and need clubs to put in it. -You are an average to below average player (~20hcp) and the clubs you own are junk that you're going to sell at your next yard sale. -You have shoes, and all that other crap. How do you spend your $ and in which order (clubs, lessons, fitting, new vs used etc.) ?? ...you only have 1000 dollars... that's it ! I'd keep my "junk" clubs for the time being and plan myself a nice little golf trip. Spending $1000 on new equipment and lessons, etc. isn't going to make me any better immediately. But, I could take my existing hacker game immediately anywhere and come home with a bag full of great memories. You only live once. My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbil8802 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 This one is easy. SLDR C Driver, Fairway and Hybrid - $200 total Ping G20 irons - $180 (just got a set for a friend of mine) Two Vokey SM5 wedges of the used rack - $80 (got these as well to go with the irons) Cleveland Milled Putter - $100 Figure this leaves me enough cash to head to the bar and have some fun or at least forget that I actually own an SLDR C driver with Uncle Jack. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app This never gets old haha Driver - M1 9.5* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Fairway - M1 5W 19* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Hybrids - G25 4H 23* Irons - JPX 850 Forged 4-PW w/ Nippon N.S.
