Getting an entire set for $1,200


Ironman_32

Recommended Posts

My buddies finance is trying to get him golf clubs for the wedding for $1,200, I'm trying to help her put it together.

 

I know once in a while some golf magazine or site will run putting together a complete bag for price, would like to know if anyone has any insight. I was thinking irons might be the 2019 M2 rescue irons, but am open to suggests and would appreciate any insight on woods. 

 

Thanks.

you could get a new custom set of irons, hybrid, etc from Sub70 golf.  They don't sell drivers but have everything else you'd need.  They also have some great used sets which would save you some more $$.

Check all the online sites for deals, last years equipment on sale, etc... Also, then check for promo codes for additional discounts at checkout.

TGE (the golf warehouse)

budget golf

callaway pre-owned

& many many more!

 
Also search eBay. There are sellers that buy new old stock and liquidate at killer prices like ksouth9 and a ton more.

I second Callaway preowned. Fantastic customer service and great deals on quality clubs. You will find a fantastic deal. Pay attention to the right flex and length of irons and woods. You cna easily get out under 1200 with a great setup


I’ll endorse CPO as well. But check ALL club specs including lie angles. I’ve seen plenty of upright and flat clubs in there. You should do well there but check all details of anything you think about buying so you don’t get any surprises or inconveniences (returning).

If you wait you'll find better deals than by needing something right now. Just wait over the winter and see what deals come along. Usually starting November you can find some crazy deals through the spring if you're flexible on what you are looking for. 

Cyber Monday!

Hey all, new to golf and have a question after reading this. Normally I see "get fitted" offered really often as advice, so I'm wondering if you're telling OP here to buy clubs to then take them to get adjusted by a fitter, or just buy and play?

 

Are there some clubs that cannot be adjusted? Could OP's buddy take a set to get fitted later, or is the idea he'll play with these for years and then get fitted?

 

Thanks in advance!

It's for a guy who doesn't really play golf...fitting would help, but almost be a waste of money. 

 

I think its one of those things were its hard to buy for someone so his wife/fiance is just going with clubs.

If you decide to go the Callaway PreOwned route, ask for Brian (McGuffie). I’ve used them a handful of times and he’s always managed to make sure I got the best possible options and prices. They have a great selection and offer additional products outside of the Callaway line. $1,200 should be no problem.

Seems like bad idea all around.

 

Golf clubs are a pretty personal thing, not too many golfers would want random clubs bought for them. He is a new golfer, so it would be easier to get something for him, as he does not know what he likes yet... but that brings me to his second point:

 

Golf clubs are ultimately a disposal item. Best case scenario is he does not golf much and they sit in the garage most of the time for years, but if he does become a regular golfer, he will want to upgrade to buy something suited for him and his abilities. I am sure his fiancé does not have it in her mind that he might be selling his wedding gift on eBay in a few years.

1200 is definitely a workable budget. I’d try on here first but then eBay is your friend.

The 2nd Swing guys did a pretty cool video on a similar concept. Obviously it was a promotional effort for them but it was cool to see what decisions they made to build a bag under 1K. (And, play the course I play most often after 🙂 )

Titleist TS2, 15, Hzrdus Smoke Black 70, 6.0

Apex UW, 19, AD-DI 8S

Srixon ZX, 23

Ping i230, 5-PW, Modus 120x

Ping S159, 48.12 S (at 49)

Vokey SM10, 54.12 D

Vokey SM9, 60.12 D (at 59)

Odyssey Triple Track Ten S, 34"

Z-Star Diamond

Why not go the gift card or credit route to an online retailer (Callaway preowned , 2nd Swing etc...) and let them pick what fits him best or what he likes ? Sure, go ahead and buy them a the favorite color / brand bag , and have the gift card in a headcover or something and let him choose? Clubs are so individualized. I've got a guy with a shop that could possibly help you out.
