Well I am not sure its still an option with clubs, but here it goes!
I am a female, that has just began playing golf! I am an exception to the rule, with just beginning and being good......going from a 100+ score to an 80 in one season.
I began the season with a set of square 2 clubs that my husband got from our golf pro that he did some work for. So it was no money out of our pocket. I would think maybe $200 at the most. After spending 8 hours a day on golfing and on the range the spring and first part of the summer...I managed to break my driver like a can..looked like a can opener attacked it!
Now I have more money in a set of clubs then most men do
But honestly $200 is fine for a starter set, or even a used set. Some clubs have loaner sets as well. Hope she learns the game, because its the best game ever!
