The BEST Beginner Golf Set… No ONE is buying in 2024!? 

The most in-touch with reality golf channel on youtube. I was reading MGS's "beginner" club recommendations article the other day out of curiosity and they were leading with $400+ drivers, some Stealth HD irons (or GBB 2023 irons for $1500) and other absurd suggestions. Absolute madness in an era where the GBB Epic is performing head-to-head with the Paradym. I'm a 6 hcp playing a cobbled together set of Titleist 755s, some Vokey SM5s, an Odyssey 2-ball Pro in excellent condition that was $45 on CPO, a 2022 Adams Tight Lies 5w that was $30 shipped new and an Epic Max I got for like $100 on Facebook. All in this was like $325 and is a more than respectable bag. Anyway, the point is, you're seemingly the only one covering the used value market and talking specifically about resale which is the true cost of these purchases. Golf isn't expensive if you can offload things for the same price as you bought them. Thanks for keeping it real.

This is possibly the best beginner “build my bag” video I’ve seen. The current crop of popular UK golf tubers tend to follow a rather formulaic approach to the topics they create. Build my bag being one such example. Of course this is a mutually beneficial relationship with used golf club companies so it’s all good as a consumer. However, I must stress I find the SAS Golf channel to be more bespoke. Anyway, as a mid to low handicapper, I still found this video fascinating (I am a learning and development specialist with nearly 30 year’s experience) and extremely well constructed. From a personal perspective I’m hoping you do more Simon notably for those looking to get into single figures 😉. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Just got into golf at 51. Found a Ben Hogan H40 cavity back iron set 3 thru pw with senior flex graphite shafts and golf pride grips. Guess they are an ok set. Also got an old Ping putter and an old Wilson titanium drive, old Mizuno 3 wood and an old Warrior 5 wood. All in a decent Izzo stand bag for 75 bucks. This was at a pawn shop

No joke my D7 8-iron is my favorite club. But good to see that im gaming the all time beginner set. Im going for D9 forged when i get to 15

This is quality content by someone who knows what he’s talking about

My eBay finds of yesterday. All TaylorMade. R1 black driver $95 Burner Plus irons 4-AW $185 TP Soto putter $105 All prices $US after taxes/shipping.

Cheers Simon. Another great video. Many thx

If I had to start over I would 1000% use a chipper. Best beginner Club by far

Great video Simon

SAS Golf, I love your channel so much, I just had to subscribe!

Good advice, clearly presented, no BS and common sense. So glad I found this channel!

The reason I love this channel is right here in this video, you don’t say ‘buy this’ you say ‘improve this’ ‘look at your technique’, ‘spend more time hitting balls’, here’s a few clubs that are good and cheap, and you actually play them….. can’t name another channel that does that, congrats on the channel getting big, but it’s your integrity that keeps you there.

PXG 0211 driver is a bargain, great advice and not just for beginners, nice one thank you.

PXG and Cleveland, great picks. Love the advice for the driver.

Another down to earth clear video with tons of great advice, this should be compulsory viewing for anybody just starting out in golf

Two videos that helped me was the Costco edge complete set and ram wedges

I like the way you built that bag affordable quality components that will grow with a golfer good job!

the Ping G5 Craze-E putter is a good choice as well! ive been using it for about 8 months now and its still enjoyable for me to hit

Absolutely loving this bag build. Also hands down the most helpful and informative channel I have found. Thanks Simon for boosting the price on Wilson D7’s I have my eye on 😂😂😂 American Golf now selling Wilson D7 XS brand new this season.

I've got the d7 irons and I love them and even picked up a d7 3 wood the other day for £20 😁

Love this! Thats a good looking bag and far nicer than an off the shelf package set. Any chance you are doing one of these videos for intermediate and advanced players?!

wedges and putter are the most important clubs in the bag. beginners miss a lot of greens, and will have to chip, or hit shots from 50 yards in. and you putt on every hole

Did the driver drill today I'm very happy with the results,less effort, more distance, and accuracy. Thanks !

Fantastic video. Worth its weight in gold. Cheers Si

I play with a set of Ping G15, a Taylormade R15 Driver, Cobra Baffler 3+5 woods and an old 2ball putter. I'm not by any stretch a beginner, but I began with this set and I now shoot sub 90 pretty much all the time. You could piece this set for about £300 and I guarantee any beginner would love it.

I’d recommend the ping g30 driver and woods they’re what I’m using, around 120 for the driver. Great clubs 👍

Good stuff. Might have just solved my next driver quest? Living about 1500km and another country away from the nearest golf shop, an updated all metal driver appeals as a replacement for my 9 or 10 yo Cobra. I don't need the potential stress of a "fragile" glued head.

I’ll say when I got my 3 wood a couple months ago i absolutely stunk hitting it. Every time I hit it low to the right. Now I’m fairly sure it’s further than my driver if I tee it right and off the deck I’m getting better and better contact. I have a cheap 7 wood too that I just love hitting too idk what it is just enjoy it.

How about some Adam's V4 irons set (and 4-6hybrids that are usually part of the set)? if you can find them, it's a real cheap set to fill out most of your bag until you improve and want to upgrade. Awesome GI forgiving clubs that's as good as anything in the same category today. That's the set I started out with and I keep them in a backup bag for buddies who want to occasionally golf but are not "in the game" atm. I upgraded to the Adam's CB3 irons last season and regularly get 1.45 smash factor on them which is incredible...why spend thousands on new forged clubs that won't get me better efficiency? I liked them so much I bought a 2nd set of heads-only and I will be fitted an optimal shaft in those later this year when my swing is grooved in. I put a Mitsubishi 80 MMT graphite shaft in it and my buddy above hit this old club (7 iron) 196 yards and he was floored...about 25 yards farther than his 7 iron (182 carry if ur curios).

What Adams hybrid/wood would you recommend?

Nice selection. For driver, I'd spend £80 on adjustable 10.5 (Cobra, TM R11) and £40 on a lesson to hit it straight. 225 in fairway is better than 250 in the cabbage.

I have a Titleist TSR2 Driver, TS2 3FW, a combo set of T-350's and AP3's, & a 910 hybrid. I enjoy the new clubs, but can attest that just cuz something is new doesnt make it better. My TS2 3 FW is the best fairway wood I've ever built, period. The 910 models, imo, is one the best series Titleist has ever put out. How i see it is there are jumps in technology once a decade or so, and every model afterwards is just a variation of the same technology, which doesnt make it better, just different. You can get a TS2 FW wood and 910 Hybrid for $130 or less online, and theyre literally some of the best clubs ever made

Can you do a cheap bag with more of a players irons set? I really want to get a nice cheap set but don't know where to start!

For a modern cost effective bag, Cobra end of season and demo clubs are very affordable, with all the current tech.

I brought a new taylormade rbz 5 wood £45, taylormade M2 driver 2017 £90 vgc, taylormade M2 hybrid £49 vgc,

Probably too much sense for the general public but nice try Simon :-)

can you review to tokomo 101s? youre the only reviewer i actually trust
