Price doesn't mean everything when it comes to golf clubs, but that doesn't mean you should rush to the nearest yard sale for a set of $17 hand-me-downs—shoes included. If you're prepared to splurge (just a little) you can walk away with a high-quality set that will endure every last mulligan. Here are a few to search for.
DRIVERS: You want to hit it farther than Tiger, but if all you care about is distance, you'll spend too much time in the woods. Most companies, such as industry top dogs TaylorMade (R11, $399.99; Burner Superfast 2.0, $299.99) and Callaway (Razr Hawk, $399.99), feature technology that helps you hit it straighter. If that's not in the budget, the SC Offset Max from Cobra ($249) and Bazooka JMax Gold driver from Tour Edge Golf ($129.99) are solid choices. Find a three-wood and five-wood to complete your set of metalwoods. These clubs will run about $50 less than a driver.
IRONS: Pay attention to terms like "game improvement" and "expanded sweet spot." If you're not a total novice, the Ping G15 irons or Nike VR Pro Combo irons are ideal, if pricey, options at $899.99 each. But the development of "hybrid" clubs (imagine the love child of a fairway wood and the impossible-to-hit 3-iron) has been the most recent revolution in equipment. Hybrids make it easier to get out of the rough, and beginners spend a lot of time in the round. The Cleveland Golf Launcher Combo Set features a 3-, 4-, and 5-hybrid and 6-iron through pitching wedge. The Adams Idea Tech Combo set offers a 4-hybrid and a 5-iron through gap wedge. Each set retails for about $399.
WEDGES/PUTTERS: Still hooked on the distance-is-everything myth? More than half the shots beginners take on the course come from within 100 yards of the green. Most beginner sets include a pitching wedge. Now you need a sand wedge to help you get out of bunkers (don't call them "sand traps"); Cleveland Golf and Titleist make the most popular wedges—each costs roughly $120. You don't need that yet, so opt for the Nike SV+ ($69.99) or Adams Watson VII ($59.99) wedges. Putters come in roughly three forms: blade, mallet, and alien mothership. New models from Titleist Scotty Cameron or Odyssey can cost more than most drivers. They're fantastic, but that's too much scratch for now. Ping is the patriarch of putter domination; you can get a blade from the company's Karsten Series for $89.99. The Odyssey 2009 White Hot XG mallet is also a great deal at $99.99.
YOUR FEET: You'll walk about five miles during a round (more as a new hacker), so a pair of good golf shoes will help you improve your game from the ground up. You can drop a bundle on old-school saddle shoes, but don't bother. Adidas rocks some of the best styles, particularly the Traxion Lite FM ($79.99). FootJoy, the leader in golf shoes ever since your great-grandfather was swinging a Niblick, has broken from tradition to create the Men's Street model, which looks like a skate sneaker ($89.99) and is just as comfortable.
YOUR SWING: Now that you've dropped some cash on shiny new sticks, learn to make them work. Your pals may offer lots of tips, but their swings aren't much better than yours. So tune them out and call a PGA of America pro for help. Just plug in your zip code and find the teacher who will keep you out of the rough.
