I'm with Russell. Golf is an abnormal action. Grooving a swing is hard and frustrating. You have to be comfortable with failure, because golf, as we all know, is just "flog" spelled backwards. I went with the cheap ($99) route, and I still use those clubs. Someday I hope to play at a level where equipment will matter.
You'll know if you have the bug. The first time you really lay into a ball, you'll either go "Oh wow. Must hit another..." or you won't.
Someday we'll win this thing...
