In some states it is legal for law enforcement, land owners, home owners, farmers, ranchers, and even their agents to kill feral animals. My sons tend to keep the population of feral cats around here down to low levels. Coyotes tend to remove the dead animals in a day or two. Feral dogs and cats harrass and kill native wildlife, pets, and live stock. They can even carry diseases like rabies.

You can get some decent beginner sets starting around $150. You can go up from there to about $280. You would want to get him a full set, meaning, woods, irons, putter, bag, and maybe even head covers. He can pick and choose clubs he wants to add as he goes and learns more, but at least you have everything to start with. Wilson, Dunlop, and Adams usually have sets matching these criteria. Your Nike, TaylorMade, and Callaway set will start more at $299. Not really anything wrong with buying a used set, just look it over (grips, clubhead, and such). I wouldn't buy online. The better brands generally will use higher grade materials and be more durable. I have an MC Sports in my town, they have good selection also.

Dear Crazy Nurse,

A top brand name top of the line set with a decent bag and a few extras will run about $2,000. Some drivers alone cost $400 to $500. First, stay away from a sporting goods retailer like Dick's or Golf Galaxy or other big box retailers for the first set.

Find the best club fitter and club builder in your area. You can check the Yellow Pages or visit sites on the web with keywords clubmaker, club builder, custom clubs etc. Golfsmith.com also can give you names and locations of their better club makers. Be sure to call in advance and make certain the individual has computer aided fitting which is state of the art. Have your husband go with you and look at the selection after a dynamic club fitting session. It may cost $50 to $75 for the computer fitting but you will be sure to get the properly fit set for your husband's personal playing style, stature and more than 12 other indicators for a properly fitted set. Please note that there are just so many manufacturers in the world and the same factory in China that makes the top brands also makes the less costly and very playable clubs. Your budget should be about $500 and the configuration should be 3 hybrid clubs #'s3-4-5 with composit shafts, then the irons should begin with the 6 through pitching wedge with steel shafts. Metal woods should be a driver with composit shaft as well as a #3 metal and #5 metal. Optional clubs are the sand wedge first, then lob or gap wedge in that order. The most personal club is the putter and you want to purchase the most your budget allows. I suggest a Ping Anser even if used. Every brand name company has this design copied even a Scotty Cameron, a $300 putter except he mills the heads from a solid billet except for a few models which are forged then machined to save on manufacturing cost. This Ping design is timeless and a third of his shots will be made with the putter and when and if he wants to step up to other clubs the putter may still stay in the bag. Ask the club maker to have the irons made of cast stainless steel and the wedge(s) to be forged carbon steel. The driver metal chemistry you want is a 90-6-4, (don't worry the fitter will know about this just mention it). The #3 and #5 metal fairway woods should be stainless steel. Never and I mean never buy those boxed sets where the irons clubs could be made from zinc and the driver and metal woods made from aluminim or have marketing words such as titanium matrix. This is non sense and the paint on your car has more titanium than this type of driver. But thta's what you get for $150 for an 8 iron and 3 wood boxed set. By being fit to his playing goals your husband need only concentrate on his game through instruction and practice.

If your husband intends to walk be sure to get a stand bag with two shoulder straps and as light as possible. Cart bags come in hundreds of styles and price points. The bag is the least important golf item.

I would have suggested top brands but the sticker shock is rough and the same driver you buy at ***** today for $350 will be on sale in 6 to 8 months for $99 and you'll get a #3 wood for a dollar. Top brand names have become notorious for introduction of new models before a year has passed. This is important for you to know that even if it's on sale and doesn't fit your husband it's like you buying a pair of Prada's three sizes too small when they are half price. They don't fit. Be mindful of this with hubby and the clubs. Good luck and you wrote your question with all the correct information. Great job!

I have learned that police love to kill things. And since they can't go around killing people left and right like they want to. Maybe one a couple years then have the case thrown out by the judge the go for the next best thing: cats and dogs. You have to understand I view police as scum, as worse as the politician and even worse than that as they enforce the laws politicians pass. Everything you see when you see police in public, the uniforms, the badges, the oath they took. It's all a show. They have no honor. The US supreme court has said that police are only there to protect state money and property and nothing more.

Pigs kill many dogs. In fact there are reports that police chiefs have told there underlings to kill family dogs no matter what the circumstance.

http://carlosmiller.com/2010/06/19/cops-… This is actually police protocol. And it happens more than one would think. They tell there officers to do this. No wonder police don't go after real criminals, there afraid of a scared dog on a chain. I don't hate cops just because. Cops made me hate cops.

Now to watch my answer get reported.
