Nicklaus Golden
Is golden bear golf clubs OK for a non-serious golfer?

I went to Golfer's Wearhouse, in order to get a starters box set because my Mom was not going to pay 400 for an iron set and 200 for a driver. I am trying out for golf team, and i plan on golfing occasionally. They were 300 dollars, and they seem to be endorsed by Jack Nicklaus. They have 19 clubs in them.

What I am asking is, will this be all right? I am a left handed golfer so these were basically all that was available.

If I had to do this all over again, I would have purchased a "Very Good Used Set" for the same price of a "New" Average set...I say this because even a set that is 10-15 years old, and made by a sought out brand, will retain its resale value when you decided to upgrade, and the quality is still there to begin with.

Sure, you will have to compromise with the scratches and being in used condition, but, you have an advantage...your a lefty...gear is cheaper.

What you can get even for $50.00 on Ebay, you can get a frekkin Titleist 983K that will out do a Golden bear any day of the week, including weekends and holidays...

If there is anything that a person such as yourself can do, is to look at golf gear in a overall picture...Is to think along the lines of Used Better Quality...

United States Take Action on Junior Golf

Junior golf is being stepped up a gear by the United States golf association and the PGA by partnering to create a new after school junior program. This gives young people access to equipment and coaching.

The program is being launched this year in seven PGA sections across the country that has well established junior golf infrastructure: Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, Northern Texas, South Florida, Southern California and Wisconsin.

The program will have three elements: an after school program, a mentoring component and a course access program.

"Our partnership with the USGA in this program represents the next step to extending those building blocks for our country’s future golfers," said Jim Remy, PGA of America president.

The program will prove to be extremely popular for young golfers. The after school curriculum will be a four to six week activity and has 75 sites for one hour straight after school. All of the sessions will be held outdoors and use traditional golf equipment. There will be plenty of teachers covering as there will be a ratio of 10 to 1.

The program will be held over the summer. It will be promoted in schools as an elective. The USPGA and PGA of America will co-brand the program.

Nicklaus Recgonised for Youth Sport

Golfing legend Jack Nicklaus and his wife Barbara have been recognised for their outstanding contribution to youth sports.

The 69-year-old Nicklaus and his wife will receive prestigious Pathfinder awards for their work heading up the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation, which has raised more than US $10 million since it began in 2004.

They also have supported junior golf sets programmes across the United States for many years.

The Pathfinder is presented each year in conjunction with the Youthlinks Indiana Charity Golf Tournament sponsored by Indiana Sports and Indiana Black Expo. Last year's winner was Basketball Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson.

The Nicklauses will receive the award June 28 at the annual Pathfinder banquet at Conseco Fieldhouse.

Nicklaus, known as the ‘Golden Bear’, holds the record for the most victories in major championships since he turned professional in 1961 after a successful career as an amateur.

His triumphs include winning the Masters six times in 1963, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975 and 1986 and the Open Championship on three occasions.

Nicklaus, who retired from competitive golf four years ago, now devotes much of his time to golf course design and he also has his own golf equipment range including a 747 LD driver and ML3 driver.
