A friend of mine is looking for a beginner set of
right-handed golf clubs.
The problem she having is matching a set to her height.
She is only 5-feet tall.
If anyone can help her find a set of clubs please let me know.

Ken,
See if Ian Woosman has an old set in the cellar?
Seriously though, I think womens standard clubs are cut a 1/2"
shorter than a standard mens set. If she is just getting started I
would just go with a standard set of womans clubs.

Ken, we have a store down here in Orlando that sells women starter sets
(1,3 woods 3,5,7,9,putter) for $99.00 Tour Model is the brand on the
irons so filling out the set should be no problem. As far as fitting
for height it should be a simple matter of cutting the shaft down a
bit. BTW did you grow up in Ayer Ma??

Ladie's clubs are one inch shorter than men's and are usually made with
a more flexible shaft and slightly smaller grips. I build and repair
clubs as a hobby and can make just about anything from components.
Also, ladie's petite are 1 1/2" shorter than men's. If you're
interested, irons are about $20/club and metal woods are about
$35/club. These would be good quality clubs with True Temper shafts
and Golf Pride grips and should last through many years of golfing.
To get started, I'd suggest something like a 3 and 5 wood, 5-7-9 irons,
a sand wedge and putter. Others could be added later if desired.

Good luck getting started.

P.S. I forgot to mention in my last reply - I live in central
Massachusetts. If you are not near here, any clubmaker
should be able to give you a similar deal.
