Check out Ebay. For your first ever set you don't have to get the top of the line everything. Ebay has good deals on new and used clubs. I still buy clubs off ebay.. Me being a leftie it seems a little eaiser to find brand new clubs for a lot less that retail though. I started out on a set of wilson prostaffs and played with wilsons until about 5 years ago.

Yeah, Ebay is good, but I think you'd be better off to buy a used set from a gold store, and have them fitted for you before you leave. Then get some lessons to at least get the basics down.

When I started a few years back I did not want to invest too much money in case I didn't like it or just lost interest. So my advise would be to go a sports shop and get decent starter clubs and grow your set from there. I recently retired my starter set and picked up better irons, a few wedges and new hybrid.

Just my 2 cents

2 questions, whats a gold store? What all is involved in getting fitted. Did not know one could get fitted for a used set.

You can also rent a set at the course. You may want to try playing a par 3 course for your first ever.
Like 300Yards said, a lesson will make you enjoy your first game much more.
