Getting measured for the clubs is probably the most important step you can take in getting it right from the start.
If you go and get measured nobody said you have to buy expensive clubs, or from that professional or that expensive shop.
At least you will know that you will be playing with the right shaft, right length and right grip all of which if incorrectly played with will only create more problems that will have to be fixed at a later date making the game far more difficult and more expensive. If you buy the first set you see, you will not 99% of the time have a set that fits you.
Get your measurements done and then you can give that information through to somebody like Callaway Pre Owned who will do all the fitting at a cheap cost saving you a wallet load of cash in the long run.
Spending money on golf clubs becomes a serious hobby if you start out on the wrong foot, believe me I have been there done that. If you become addicted to the game once you hit that sweet spot shot that stops next to the pin there will be no need to spend any further cash knowing you have the right clubs now.
Of course you can take the earlier advice and just buy the clubs recommended and hope they work out for you but if you start with the properly measured clubs then you can only blame you for a bad shot and not the clubs. Something that your local professional will be able to iron out with a few lessons.
Whatever decision you take enjoy the game, its one of the best on the planet.
I just checked the Callaway site and there is a set of x16s cavity backs in as new condition.

If you go for steel shafts then they will be even cheaper and when you are good enough to upgrade in the future then you should have no problem selling them on.
