  1. @Hacker60521If you're looking for a "beginner" set of women's clubs & don't want to spend a whole lot... Check on Ebay! Do a real specific search for Golf Clubs - Complete Set and refine your search to "new" or "like new"... And under the "Gender" category when you refine search... Just specify "women's"... I began playing 5 yrs ago & needed a set of clubs. I had never really played before & decided to learn how for real and started by taking lessons from a real PGA Pro who specializes in teaching beginners. Anyway... I didn't have a lot of money to spend on clubs as I'm on a fixed income but... I was able to find a brand new set of beginner clubs with stand bag in a sealed box that were left over stock from the previous year and the seller had a price listed with a "Best Offer" option. I made an offer I figured would be denied & the seller accepted my offer! I don't recall how much shipping cost was... Probably around $20 meaning my offer that was accepted was $80. I recall I paid $100 even for the brand new full set (11) of clubs including a stand bag and shipping! I thought it was a decent deal! I learned the game with those clubs and added a few clubs to the bag that weren't included with the set to bring total to 14. I no longer use those clubs but still own them. I learned the game & spent a lot of time playing/practicing to get better for 1st couple yrs playing with those clubs! I probably played upwards of 100 rounds each of the 1st couple years I played! Needless to say... I upgraded my clubs to a much better full set (all 14) and my new clubs are a huge improvement over my beginner clubs but the new set I got would have been difficult to start with and learn with because of the shaft flex, club face angle on a few of the clubs, etc... If you really want to save some money... I'll give you a great deal on my no longer used full set of beginner clubs with the bag if you pay shipping! They are women's clubs for a right handed player and are in excellent condition...
  2. @GolfSpy_SHARK Thanks for responding to my posting... I appreciate it! Ok... So you were Navy but, as stated, the way you worded your previous post... You gave me the impression that you are an Ex-Coastie... Oh well... You were a gray hull sailor. Seems that Ex-Coasties who golf are a very rare find! I don't know any! Anyway... We had a RHIB at the station I was at & I loved getting underway in that boat! Ours was a 17' ft Avon with a turbo 75hp outboard! It flew across the water & at times... Through the air! We would go "wake jumping" in that boat and with the right wake (usually a very large cargo ship) at the right angle... I could get the entire boat out of the water! WAY TOO MUCH FUN IN THAT BOAT! We did blow a slew of lower units on that outboard by "wake jumping" but we had 6 spare engines in our shop! So... It kept the MKs occupied... Change out the engine and rebuild the toasted lower unit! Anyway... Enough sea stories... Bottom line... I would like to get some info & the gory details from you regarding some of the VGA Tournaments in New England area! I would love to be able to play in some this Summer if possible! So... I'll certainly be looking foward to yet another response from you & I'll be hoping you can give me some info about the New England VGA! I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
  3. @GolfSpy_SHARK I have been reading some of your posts regarding VGA because I am thinking of perhaps looking into joining & am very interested in learning more about it...!! I truly love playing golf & play whenever I can...!! I've only played 5 yrs but it has become like an addiction to me & I average approximately 75+ rounds per season (the "season" here [NH] is quite short compared to AZ!)...!! A couple things you wrote that stood out to me & caught my attention so now I'm compelled to ask you... 1) It appears you are located in New England specifically in either MA or NH... Curious if that is the case because I too am in New England... And... 2) A portion of your quote from your above posting... Specifically where you state: "Never shot at here but interesting times with boarding small boats..." This statement leads me to believe you're an Ex-Coastie... Is that the case...?? I'm an Ex-Coastie and DO agree that boardings of small boats can be rather interesting at times...!! I was stationed at a small boat station for four yrs and was a qualified Coxswain & Boarding Officer... Back in the day...!! But I LOVED being a small boat "Throttle Jockey" & had a great time (WAY TOO MUCH FUN AT TIMES) while stationed at that small boat station...!! Look forward to your answers... Thanks in advance...!!
