What was your first set as a junior?

[boatrightgolf7]

Just curious mine were Target Tom Weiskoph blades.

[The Mad Bomber]

Mine were a set of McGreggor blades/persimmons that my grandfather bought me at auction. Before that, I just used my moms Wilson Staffs - also blades.

[citizenfore]

Ahead cavity backs with matching woods. Driver, three wood, five wood and 3-pw. Rounded out the bag with a Northwestern Judy Rankin putter. Played that set from Jr high thru college (upgraded woods and added a wedge and hybrid in college).

[ChipNRun]

Let's go back in time to 1963. My brother trades our last functioning tricycle to the trash man for a mixed bag of golf clubs he had hanging on the side of his truck.

 

These included some Spalding FWs from about 1960, and some of the 1930-ish steel-shafted clubs with fake wood lamination on them. These were mashies, niblicks, all that good stuff. I used them my first year as a player, and actually carried the niblick (a thin-bladed 9i) until my early 20s.

 

A year later, my dad gets us a Sears beginners set: Driver, 3W, 3, 5, 7 ,9 and a putter, with bag. Many years later I checked the lie angle of the irons, and they were about 3° upright. (No wonder I had an early swing like a hockey slap-shot.)

 

Don't feel bad for me: by early summer 1966, I had both TopFlite Synchrodyned irons and Wilson fairway woods.

Pinseeker Junior set

[tatertot]

Senator blades and laminated woods from Austads. Eventually upgraded with a Northwestern blade putter.

[JOHN GOLIA]

Going way back.

I do remember my first driver.

MacGregor persimmon Tommy Armour.

I was 5 years old.

As far as a set goes. Ben Hogan "Little Bens"

Nothing but Pure Blades.

[Doyouevenblade]

I had some hand me down Spalding blades 3,5,7,9 to start with. Then moved to some second hand powerbuilt clubs. Neither me choosing, just more circumstance.

 

The first set of clubs that I got just for me, and I had them for a while. The classic Titleist 962.

[MyShortGameSucks]

Half set of used Ben Hogan Apex irons my Dad bought for me from Gog Magog golf club just outside of Cambridge in the U.K. Not sure I have ever been so excited before any golf purchase since that day. Gradually added woods after that plus I am sure I had some POS putter. My first full set of irons was Hogan Apex Round Sole irons that I played all through college

[raggal62]

Got my first set on my 9th birthday in 1963. A starter set of PowerBilt's.

[fillwelix]

Some US Kids clubs that my dad had to cut down for me...lol

[mcs4]

The first clubs I used as a little kid were a random assortment of bargain clubs, but the first actual "set" that I owned was a set of Hogan radials my parents picked up at a yard sale for probably no more than $10. I didn't learn until much later that they were actually pretty good clubs, albeit not exactly perfectly matched for a mediocre junior.

[AKHx03]

Cut down Northwestern irons and McGregor Jack Nicklaus persimmon woods were my first sticks.

[ZBigStick]

Powerbuilt junior blades with cherry red persimmon woods.

[bcsquare]

I learned on some cheap full set from Big 5 but the first real set of clubs were a used set of Titleist DCI Black's from the local pro shop.

[Jack Pearsall]

First set of clubs was a cabal of women’s clubs...he was 9?

Patty Berg model mostly with a Macgregor 7 iron cut down...

Doug Ford driver too.

 

Old timers time...

[Chadwickog]

My sister and I both had Tour Edge junior sets. My second Junior set was a Taylormade Junior set with the burner bubble graphite shafts.

[Browns71213]

I didn't pick up the game until I was 27 and my first set was from Northwestern.

[KaiserSoze]

MacGregor Jack Nicklaus signature blades and wood woods.

[dingusflingers]

My dad built me a set of Golfworks Jr-Pro when I was 3 or 4 years old. I think he used it as an excuse with my mother to get into clubmaking. Used to beat the s*** out of everything I could find in the backyard with those things.

[sdandrea]

Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge irons. 3, 5, 7, 9, SW, putter. Cant remember the woods, but they were persimmon.

[cdn]

Spalding Kro Flite irons and Cycolac Spalding woods, bought them at Sears with my grass cutting money, the only thing was it was a display set that was missing the 7 iron...but it didn't matter.

[misterkye]

wilson blades.....i think my hands are still ringin from them....... then moved on to the titleist 962b (so soft and buttery)

[llamont]

MacGregor Contender 1-3-5 Woods/3-PW

[Santiago Golf]

US Kids Driver and wedge. I didnt get a puttrr for two more years. Tgen i got a new driver, a 5/6 iron, 7/8 iron, and finally a putter.

[Double Dutch]

1996: A half set of Lynx blade-like irons (4,6,8,P) that I shared with my brother, so when we played together I only had two irons; a TM burner metal wood 3 from the 80’s, a green 5 wood with a green graphite shaft. And the pride of my cheap-a** bag: a real and current model Big Bertha driver that I got from my rich uncle because he just upgraded to the titanium version.

My dad built me a set of Golfworks Jr-Pro when I was 3 or 4 years old. I think he used it as an excuse with my mother to get into clubmaking. Used to beat the s*** out of everything I could find in the backyard with those things.

 

My dad built me the same set when I was 9. My daughters and nephews a have used them as well.

[EKELLY]

Wilson Staff Dynapower......You had a to be a MAN to hit those, but when I learned to release the club, WOW!!......

[bjornarneson]

My first set was a half set of component irons from a guy in town who like to build clubs. My second set was a set of used ping eye irons that turned out to be hot. I had to give them back when the county sheriff showed up to ask about them.

[halliedog]

Introductory set was a beginners set of some type of Spaldings - 3W, 3,5,7,9,W

First "set" was a set of Browning 440 irons and some type of persimmon driver and 3W which I used through high scool

After college built myself a Golfworks component set - my first dabbling in club assembly :)

My first "real" set of irons that I bought myself were Ram Laser cavity backs in late 80s or early 90s
