Cavity Back
what is the best type of irons for a beginner golfer, obviously cavity back, but any perticular brands?
I'd agree with a lot of the above, but I bought a set of cheapos as my first set and they were so cheap, the heads started coming off of them after a few rounds. So, I'd definitely buy something that at least stays in one piece.
Soon after I trashed my first set, I bought a used set of 2002 Callaway Big Bertha irons. They are a GREAT forgiving set of clubs that you can find relatively cheap and used, and they'll last you for your beginning years. Plus, they'll actually re-sell for a few bucks and you won't be embarassed to drag them out on the course (not that you should care, but I did).
I would REALLY recommend getting a used set of those, and don't even bother buying a driver. Get a nice used 3 wood (maybe a TaylorMade R580, probably about $50 anymore) and use that to tee off with until you get good at it.
BE PATIENT! Golf is awesome. It just takes time, practice, and patience. Eventually, you won't be the worst guy in your foursome anymore, and then you can taunt the guy that replaced you. That's what I did. GOOD LUCK!
