Golf - what starter clubs ?
My partner is very keen to get into golf and I plan to buy some kit for her to get started.
I’m okay going to the shop and spending £1k on some stuff but cautious of the all the gear no idea syndrome.
What are the key clubs she needs to start to learn at driving range and perhaps a pitch and putt ?
Anyone know of a golf pro in Kent or Essex that would be good for a block or sessions?

Bit of an update in case anyone else is interested in an efficient way to spend a lot of money and get frustrated looking forward to any signs of improvement.
So I watched the YouTube videos and we’ve signed up for approx six lessons each before joining a few other students for an intro to the game on a course facilitated by the golf instructor.
I’ve been most interested in the dynamic of the distances achieved by the different club loft given the constants of half swing or full swing. Reminds me of my coffee machine that only allows me to change one variable ( the grind) when there are so many other variables at play.
Anyway, The technology is absolutely amazing for monitoring everything, calculation of height, distance and ball spin, etc.
It’s distracting when trying to develop a swing, but by degrees, Im hopeful the consistency will come, the problem space get smaller and adjustments improve the game.
Where Im curious about the club angles and how they are spaced and they equate to distances, my partner is interested in the outfits ( someone did warn me).
I think we have a booking on a course in April, I plan to play against humans in May, have a handicap by September !
