I gotta buy golf clubs...

sporting goods stores also carry pre-made full sets with a bag and enough clubs to get you started, bought a set like that for my wife when she started taking lessons and playing

I would definitely look at this if I were just beginning. The box sets you can get at places like Dicks are fine for a beginner. They will come with a driver and fairway wood, at least 3 & 4 hybrid (sometimes 5 too) and then the rest of the irons plus a sand wedge, putter and bag. You really can't go wrong. I would recommend the better quality sets though such as Adams Tight Lies. I think that will set you back like $500 or so but it would be worth it.

A LW is a lob wedge... not the easiest to hit. You definitely want a set with the hybrids for the long irons (3,4&5). They are soooo much easier to hit for the beginner.
