{"title":"Hickory Golf Starter Sets","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you've been curious about hickory golf but aren't sure where to begin, a \u003cstrong\u003ehickory golf starter set\u003c\/strong\u003e is the easiest way to get on the course. These beginner hickory clubs are put together based on the Society of Hickory Golfers' recommended six club setup, which covers every shot you'll need for a full round. Each set includes a brassie (fairway wood), mid-iron (2 iron equivalent), mashie (5 iron), mashie niblick (7 iron), niblick (wedge), and a putter. That's the sweet spot for playability without overloading your bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery club in these sets has been individually restored in my shop. I match them for feel and condition so they play well together, not just look good sitting in a bag. The shafts are sound, the heads are tight, and the grips are fresh. I coach golfers of all levels, and I've seen plenty of people pick up a hickory set and fall in love with the game all over again. There's a simplicity to playing with six clubs that strips away the overthinking and gets you back to just hitting the ball. Most players are surprised how quickly they adjust, and how satisfying it feels to work the ball with clubs that were built over a hundred years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarter sets typically run between $300 and $600 depending on the quality and rarity of the individual clubs.
