So I’m 5’10, 16, and I’ve been playing golf for about a year and a half now. I’m on the varsity girls golf team at my high school and I usually shoot around 100-110.
I need new golf clubs. I have 2006 Willson Hope set, that we’ve paid to get extended (about a year ago) to standard men’s length. Now that I’m on varsity I think it’s time for me to get some serious clubs. My parent’s won’t go over 1,000. And they won’t let me get a job (did I mention I’m taking two college courses?) anyhoo, they would strongly prefer under 700.
I was looking at the Lynx 2008 Crystal Cat Set and the Adams Lady A3. It would be easier for me to buy a set because neither of my parents play or have ever played golf, so I wouldn’t even know where to start. Any help or suggestions?

First of all, congratulations on making the golf team and working hard at academics too.
As a PGA Club Professional, I highly recommend that you see a local PGA Professional in your area and get custom fit for a set of clubs. There are a few advantages in doing this.
You will play better golf because you are using clubs that are built specifically for you, your swing, your stance and all other attributes. Now as for the cost. A custom set of clubs is no more expensive buying them off the rack. In most cases, if buying from the Pro, you may get a better deal and some lessons thrown in free during the course of the fitting.

Good Luck,
