the first clubs i played with when i was younger were from bootfairs. 50p and a pound each. Thats a good place to get them. If u start to improve u will get bored of having just a wood or an iron i think..plus woods are more difficult to hit well/learn with.

Get yourself a 3 wood
If there is any sports-soccer shops near you, go and buy a 3 wood, Donnay, will cost you about 10quid, and will be perfect for what you want to use it for
A free wood is much more friendly for someone who doesnt play than a driver and would suit you alot more
Thanks a lot. Just the sort of reply i was after instead of commenting about me not even bothering to play.
Edit: by 'play' i dont mean play on a proper golf-course, or play on a regular basis or even play at all. I simply mean go along to the driving range and hit a few balls. No harm in doing that IMO.

Exactly my point  but he dont exactly sound serious about it does he, hence point in going out spending money on a set.

I bought a 3 wood for my very first club but couldn't get used to it. I then bought a 7 iron from JJB and found it easier.

Also buying 1 is very wise, I bought a set for £100 and barely use them

I find it harder to use drivers and woods then irons, but everyone is different. It's only £10 too so go for it!

I dont even know what a driver a wood or an iron even looks like or what difference they are 
I simply want a cheap golf club that i can ping balls with at a driving range.

Do they not give you clubs at the range, so you can try them and find out what one works for you

Go sports soccer and pick up a donnay 3/5 wood or even a driver. They are cheap and will be good enough just to hit some balls on the driving range.

Well done, that's good going  I am aiming for about 20 in the next few months , should be acheivable if I can keep some sort of consistency
I love golf so much, honestly I would play every day and get really good if I could!

Haimsey, don't buy that one mate, honestly you will not be able to hit it for toffee
I'll look on that website and find you one for cheap
OFF TOPIC: Very nice handicap tomtom, and tom shooting an 86 is good also
My best round is a 79 round a par 69 course which i had never played before, everything went right that day, i just don't get to play enough to sort my official handicap out, officialy i am off 28, but as you will see with my best score, the next comp i enter and play anything like i can do no-one will have a chance giving me 28 shots Net 50 FTW
