We want to make Two Critical Points here.
Pick an instructor and Stay With them.
Your buddy is NOT going to be able to help you, you'll just pick up their bad habits and more than likely you will just get worse. Staying with One Instructor allows them to take you through the progression, which is a CRITICAL part of learning to golf.
Never buy Off the Shelf clubs.
There is no such thing as One Size Fits all...Not in clothes, shoes, car repair, and especially golf clubs. Now it may be that an off the shelf set will work for you, but we don't know that till you are fitted.
The Pro's ALL have their own specifications for their specific clubs, no two are alike.
The Professionals at the courses listed here can help you become a better golfer in all the aspects of your game.
