What's your budget pal?

While not my cup of tea Callaway, Cobra and Taylormade make good clubs for the beginner.
Make sure the irons have wide enough soles and a deep enough cavity to help you get the ball in the air. With woods you will need a large head, low centre of gravity and plenty of loft. Unless yoou hit it a long way make sure the shafts aren't too stiff.
Hard to recommend anything more specific, so I would advise going to your local pro or shop and trying a few out and see which suit your game the best.
Also have a look online for the gold digest hot list and that lets you know the top rated clubs in each category. Not perfect but a decent place to start.

I would guess at that price you'd be looking at 2nd hand, or clearance models.

I got a set for about £100 a few yeas back from the pro shop at the club I was a member of. try looking around different places instead of just american golf like a lot of people do. If your just starting out as well don't be obsessed about the make or brand either

How about something like this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004NAYY...de=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B004NAYYYQ
to be fair if you look at buying a package set they are normally aim at beginners.
As PB says get down to american golf or local club and hit a few different sets in the net.

I'd happily send you one of my spare sets but might be a bit difficult for you to hit until you have your swing fine tuned a bit.

I started with a Powerbilt set.
Pretty decent in all honesty, and not too expensive!
