That was about it.<\/p>\n<p>A half-set for beginners was sold, consisting of a 1- and 3-wood, the odd-numbered irons, and a putter. I don&#8217;t think half-sets are sold anymore, though they should be, to make it less expensive for beginners to get into the game. As far as the composition goes, you could trade the 3-iron from a modern set for a 21-degree hybrid and you would have it.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever clubs you have in your bag, make sure there is a reason for every one of them to be here. You&#8217;re allowed fourteen clubs, but you don&#8217;t have to carry fourteen. Also, every club except maybe the driver should be able to multi-task. If not, either learn how or get rid of it.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therecreationalgolfer.com\/\">www.therecreationalgolfer.com<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I began playing, a set of clubs was four woods (1, 2, 3, 4), nine irons (2-9), a pitching wedge and a putter.
