If you would rather do some garage shopping at your buddies place Here's what I would get.

(You're "supposed" to carry 14 clubs at a time.)

Driver, 3 wood, 5 wood

3-9 Iron

PW, SW, LW

Putter

You can have many variations of that set up. I personally don't have a 5 wood or 3 Iron but instead a Gap Wedge and a 3 Hybrid. Everyone will have different suggestions but the one above is pretty solid for a beginner. The brand itself won't really matter at this time but do yourself a favor and get something a bit more current because it will make your life a lot less stressful

Good Luck Buddy

What's an LW, Gare-bear? Is a driver the same thing as a 1 wood?

I already found a guy 45 minutes away that answered my Craigslist ad. He has an original set of Pings and a bag of Taylormade(?) stuff. Both the Pings and Taylormade have bags, etc. He says he has all the extra clubs to make a real set. The prices he quoted were real fair, I thought.

Perfect.

Lob Wedge and Yes.

The LW is not really a necessity but I use the chit out of mine so I threw it in there.
