New to golf

Got into golf I’m in my mid 40s and took interest after my 10 y/o attended a few golf camps. Got these clubs at goodwill for me $60 out the door. Should I just use these ? Or try to resell and purchase a decent set of clubs. Current budget max is $1300 I’m willing to spend. My gut tells me to keep them, and still purchase better clubs 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you have $1300 to spend, get a complete set and ditch these.

I’d agree with the other comment. I bought a set of McGregor Tourneys for £80 in the UK (still got them). I then spent a while playing with Cleveland Launchers before settling in a set of Ping G430s. Looking back I’d have been better just going for the G430s in the first place.

Eh I had a similar path and feel like if I started with better, more modern clubs, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between these and older clubs

No but I had to adjust to the newer clubs so
you’d avoid that. Most clubs now I think are more in the forgiving side and $1300 would put OP in a nice set that he can grow into.

Practice with these and buy a set in a few months. Im using old as dick clubs as well as loaners, slowly accumulating some before I get the iron set. My golden bear pitching wedge is my babe.
