HardcoreLooper Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 My daughter and I have talked my wife into trying to play golf again. Other than a couple of trips to TopGolf, she hasn't tried to play in about 25 years. We'll see how this goes. Needless to say, I didn't want to invest a ton in this. So here we go: Driver - TaylorMade RBZ HL (High Loft, 15*). No cost, someone gave this to my older daughter. She played this for a while, then started pulling my F8 out of my bag. 3 Wood - Lady Precept. $5 from the First Tee $5 bin. Pulled out of my older daughter's bag - she's away at college. 5 Wood - Cobra Speed LD. $5 from the First Tee $5 bin. Also pulled out of my older daughter's bag. 4H/5H - Adams Idea i Wood. $21.80 from ShopGoodwill.com. 6H - Precept ECU. $5 fom the First Tee $5 bin. Also pulled out of my older daughter's bag. 7i-SW - Adams A12OS. $49.80 from ShopGoodwill.com. Putter - TaylorMade Spider Rossa (cut down belly putter). $45.29 from ShopGoodwill.com. Bag - Ogio Featherlite Luxe. $30.18 from ShopGoodwill.com. $162.07 all in.

perseveringgolfer Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 ...I echo what @Kenny B said. I saw my wife walk off the course (twice) after my 'words of encouragement and coaching' P.S remember to get PINK castle tees as the colour is usually acceptable and the constant tee height saves you from interfering again lol Kenny B and HardcoreLooper 2 Quote Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLooper Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 I've been down this road a couple of times in the past. My wife tends to get mad at me because I won't give her advice. I know that I don't know how to teach golf. A couple of things to note about this: Putting her bag together was lots of fun. It wasn't all that expensive. She probably doesn't need the three wood, four hybrid or six hybrid right now, and I spent too much on the putter because I wanted to try out a Spider for myself. So I could have knocked a few bucks off of this. The cheapest women's box set at Golf Galaxy right now is a set of Top Flites on sale for $219. Even though the clubs I bought for her are a little older, I'll bet that every one of them is better than what you'd get from a Top Flite box set. Same with the bag. Golf certainly can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be for someone starting out. But you really need someone to be your sherpa when you're getting started. That's as big of a barrier to entry as money. Maybe even moreso for some people.

Reesedw Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 @HardcoreLooper, What a great excuse to play more.. I also enjoy golfing with SWMBO.. Kinda.. LOL.. Here are a few things to remember.. 1) Encourage.. remind her she is doing great, and HER game is different the yours so never compare the two.. 2) Suggest not coach.. WHEN she asks What is she doing wrong, cause she will, give her the if it was me i might try doing this.. and let her do it her way.. 3) as she enjoys it more, your golf cost will go through the roof.. you have daughters playing, $$$, now her, More $$$, and then you $$$$... so you are offically broke..

If we all play together when she's home for the summer, she can ride with my wife (I doubt Mrs. Looper is going to walk).
