Buying your golf clubs before starting to play golf is generally not a good idea. You should have a feel for the game and make sure you'll be playing for a while before you buy any golf clubs. You maybe just give up on the game and find that it's not for you. You will have to take the time to find fitting golf clubs during your initial learning phase of the game. A cheap used golf club sets should be a good starting point for most beginner golfers. Here are a few options to look into when you are looking for used golf clubs:

You can also ask your friends or other golfers in the driving range to use their clubs while you're playing ath the driving range. This will give you exposure to different type of golf clubs and gives you a chance to make up your mind about the type of clubs you would enentually want to buy. After hitting for a period of time at the driving range and you think it is time to buy your own clubs, then ...
Golf beginner's half set: As a beginner golfer it maybe advisable to start learning to golf with a half set of clubs, that have all matching irosn with the same model. The half-set could be made up from a few combinations of clubs. In general, the half set combination consists of five iron clubs, including 4, 6, 8, pitching wedge and sand iron, in addition to 3 and 5 woods plus a putter.
The half set combination is sufficient for most novice golfers and it also limits your choice in the golf course, therefore making club selection a much eaiser task.

Golf Shafts: Graphite shafts is ideal for beginner even though it is more expensive that steel shafts. Its lighter overall weight allows beginner to swing the club faster even with enlarged clubhead.

Grips are fairly easy and inexpensive to change by a pro or club repairman. Make certain all the grips that are replaced are the same size and design.
If you're starting to golf and thinking of buying you should definetely try the clubs before buying it. You never know which one is going to work for you until you try the clubs.
