Steven bought $100 golf clubs at Play It Again Sports and wonders if he made a mistake. David breaks down his "restart plan" for new golfers - and spoiler alert, it's not about expensive equipment.

What we discuss:

• Steven's Play It Again Sports shopping experience and the "fattest clubs" advice
• David's three priorities for beginners: lessons, expectations, and etiquette
• Why a $500 driver won't fix your swing (but a $120/hour lesson might)
• The brutal truth about virtual golf lessons vs. in-person instruction
• Course etiquette essentials - from divot repair to reading the room
• Steven's revelation about needing golf clothes (and his Caddyshack fashion goals)
• Realistic expectations: why Oak Hill 2027 might not be in the cards

Key takeaway: "Clubs don't make the player, the player makes the clubs" - focus on fundamentals first, gear second.
