3 different wedges for a beginner? Not necessary.
A 2-iron? Reminds me of the joke about what to do if you are on the golf course and it begins to thunder and lightning. Stand in the middle of the fairway and hold your 2 iron straight up in the air. Because even God can't hit a 2 iron.

Flame suit on.

I do love to play, Peter. I could hit the ball a ton when I was a kid and played pretty often. The 12th hole of Boulder Creek is right out our morning room window, and I can literally walk on whenever I want. It's a short walk to go up and get a cart.
Lisa already has clubs and she'd love to go play. The only reason we haven't is cause I don't have any clubs.
From what I've seen, a set of $1000 clubs usually resells from the garage at $200, so it's not too big an investment to get started. I'll definately play, even if I only hit every other hole, cause all our friends and family play. Plus we can drive the cart right over here to beer up when necessary, they'll all appreciate that.
It's good exercise and it'll force me to smoke some good cigars. I really can't lose.
