Golf Clubs Wanted...
Hi all,
I'm looking for a set of clubs and bag, does anyone have any that are collecting dust?
Am looking in the range of about 50 to 100 quid for a full set. I'm based in London but will pay for postage or whatever if needed.
Ta,
Nick

Great game - don't knock it till you've played it for at least five years

the perfect way to spoil a pleasant stroll!
I have a set up in leeds, not sure about the postage cost though. I havent used them in about 5 years (last use was to remove dandelions from the
lawn). ISTR that there are some carbon shafts in there... I'll take a look if you're interested. About £25 would part me (or actually,
motivate me to chuck them out!)

Played it since I were a wee lad of six, can I knock it? 
Biggest problem with multiple hobbies is the lack of time to do any single one well.
FWIW, I played 18 holes a day six days a week as a teen -- I now play two or three times a year. I enjoy it far more now owing to the fact that
it's for a laugh.
If you're just starting out you should be able to pick up a set of servicable clubs at a boot sale for £20-£50. The £150 saved and spent on a
few lessons with the course pro will be a much better investment.
Cheers, Ted

I've got a 7 iron, what do you need all the others for?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks Joel, if you could take a look and let me know, cos im definately interested. I'll check out postage costs at the post office today. Not
sure about paying you to chuck them out though! Don't suppose you could snap a few pics?
I'm not really out for a very decent set, just wanted something I can get around with for the next few months, as I'm going back to
australia at the end of the year and will be bringing my clubs back with me.
Couldn't agree with you more Ted, although I don't know if any more lessons will help my 'power fade' (read: chronic slice). I
tend now to just play off to the left, and usually end up somewhere in the middle...
Cheers,
Nick

Pete,
You should carry a two iron aswell, and I'll tell you why:
I was once told that if you're ever stuck on a golf course in a thunder storm, you should hold up your two iron on the way back to the clubhouse
to avoid being struck by lightning. Why?
Not even God can hit a two iron...
Nick
P.S. Please accept my humble apologies for the lame joke.
