Doug K asked:


I have a set of golf clubs we dug out of the closet of our new home here in Chattanooga, TN. I would like to sell them, but also (obviously) would like to get a fair price for them. They are lightly used, and none seem to have any dents or dings in them. There is dirt on the PW, and on the skinny#5 club. They are Kathy Whitworth Monogram II, and are made for a petite woman. All are graphite shaft except for the putter. The skinny head clubs are numbered 4-9, and the fat headed clubs are numbered 1, 3, 5, 7. It also has a matching PW and SW, but the putter is a different brand (Align series 3). The bag says “CROSPETE sports” I think. This set also has an extra Callaway #5 fat head club that says “Big Bertha” and “S2H2″ on it. That club has its own special little sock cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! FYI, these will probably eventually go on craigslist here in Chattanooga, and down in Atlanta.

Without the right golf equipment, a golfer may have a hard time playing a good round of golf. This is because golf equipment comes in a variety of sizes, weights and shapes, and each individual piece of golf equipment works to help the player maximize his potential in the game. Golf equipment encompasses a variety of items, including golf balls, clubs and shafts, carrying bags, markers for golf balls, gloves to protect the golfer’s hands during play, towels to wipe up perspiration, special shoes to grip the soft, uneven terrain often found outdoors, tees and other accessories to make golfing easier and more convenient.

Let’s start with the golf ball, an essential piece of golf equipment. The golf ball has a minimum diameter of 42.67mm, and a maximum weight of 45.93g. Golf balls were originally made out of leather and feathers, but modern designs incorporate the use of synthetic materials put together in two, three or four layer designs. Golf balls can have soft covers (which translate into higher spin, more “feel” and easier stopping) or hard covers (longer distances during play). Today’s golf balls may also use RFID technology, which helps the golfer to pinpoint the exact location of a lost ball.

Golf clubs are categorized as woods, irons and putters. There are also wedges, but these are used for very short shots. Woods are used for long shots done from a tee or fairway. Putters are often used on the green, and in many mini-golf courses.

Shafts are used between the grip and the club head of golf clubs. The shaft has a profile that is circular in shape, and it is thicker at the grip end than at the club head end. Most of today’s shafts are made of tempered steel or graphite, though some specialty shafts may use titanium or aluminum, or follow yesterday’s design of hickory wood. Shafts can also be tapered, either in steps or in one smooth fashion. Golf equipment can be carted around from course to course with the use of golf bags. Golf bags can be made of nylon and/or leather, and are designed in a cylinder shape wrapped around a plastic frame, so that golf clubs can be securely transported in them.

In addition, golf bags have many different pockets to organize and transport other types of golf equipment and supplies. Golf bags can come with large straps for over the shoulder carrying, or they can be pulled or pushed on a two-wheel pull cart or golf cart during play.

I am getting rid of my Apple G4 12″ laptop. Used and about 4 years old. I would say about a 7.5 out of 10 and worth about $300.00.
I put it on Craigslist to trade for golf clubs and so far I have a few offers. Here are some so far and I would like your advice on which would be my best bang for my buck (well computer)…

Offer 1:
Ping i3 (4-pw) irons
Ping fairway woods (1, 3, 5)
White hot Odyssy putter
with cheap bag

Offer 2:
Adams IDEA irons (3 and 4 are hybrids)
Wilson deep red driver
Ping 3 wood
Square two sand wedge

Offer 3:
Scotty cameron studio stainless putter with head cover
Mizuno wedges (50, 56, 58)

They are all used.
So far these are the only reasonable offers I have received. Let me know what you guys think I should go for if nothing else comes available. (This will be my first set of golf clubs, I am just starting out!)

Socal Bong asked:


I would get medium to low end grips (cheaper, but not cheapest) for a full set (excluding putter).

How much should I expect to pay in total? (grips and labor/service)

Please do not tell me that I can spend more than $1,000.00 (my clubs aren’t even worth that much) to get my clubs regripped; I already explained that I am leaning toward the cheaper end yet for some reason people also like to talk only about the best and most expensive like they want to scare you out of it.

If I was picking grips on a scale of 1 – 10 with 1 being the cheapest and 10 being the best, I would be getting something around a 3. If you still can’t comprehend this then please do not bother answering.

Once again, I am just looking for a total in US $ as to how much I should expect to spend for grips and installation (total cost).
Actually I found my own best answer. Golfsmith currently has a 99 cents per club special ($2.99 regular) and with this coupon I’ll also get 25% off of the grips.

http://www.golfsmith.com/email/FFJ07

Yes I know that 99 cents does not include the grips, that is only the replacement/labor cost but that along with getting 25% off on the grips makes it a good deal (much better than the answers I’ve received so far).

Please do not try to explain to me that I have to pay for the grips and the replacement/labor/service costs. I understand that. My total cost will be 99 cents per club PLUS the costs of the grips. That would be true almost everywhere and in any case. Please do not waste your time trying to point out that I am paying more than 99 cents. I already know that and understand that and if you read this you would recognize that.

Once again, I know that my total cost is NOT just 99 cents. I understand that but apparently you don’t. I get it. Don’t try to explain.

My little Jack Russell Terrier enjoys attacking golf clubs; putters seem to be her particular targets.

un_touchable8 asked:


I am a young man and I am trying to get into the game of golf. Considering the expense of buying a set of golf clubs, I want to make sure I am buying the right kind. I need an entire set, irons, driver, putter, etc. Which brand and models would be bets for me if I was trying spend under 400 dollars?

Joe asked:


- Big Bertha Diablo Driver
- Big Bertha fairway wood
- Tommy Armour 845 iron set (3-pw) Diablo
- Odyssey SRT 2-Ball Putter
- Callaway X series stand bag

any suggestions/improvements? or am I good?
disregard diablo after the irons, its a typo
the irons were my dads, he used them, didn’t like them, gave them to me, so basically new clubs for free

Armour07 asked:


I’m a scratch golfer in south Texas. I’m a sophomore in high school. After so many tournaments my curiosity started to grow, I mean, “to each his own” I understand everyone plays what they like. I like PING and all my clubs are, well, PING. My question is what brand is best, or believed to be the best for Drivers, Woods, Irons, Wedges, and Putters?
