outperform is on a distinguished road
Amateur looking for a new driver - what to do?

So I've been playing golf for two weeks now. And this is what I have in my bag.


Callaway 3 Wood
Ben Hogan BH-5's Iron Set from 4-9 + PW.
Wilson Sand Wedge.
Mizuno Putter (not sure which mizuno model) brand new.

I got all of these for free (i'm really lucky), and now I just need a driver. Now I have some multiple questions.

The first question is, should I buy an expensive really nice driver and learn
to master that, or should I buy a forgiving driver since I'm just learning? I'm
thinking the expensive quality one, because that way I can keep it for
many years.


Now once I've decided on that question, how do I know what kind of shaft
is best because I've seen there be some different levels of stiffness (and
excuse my crappy understanding of the game, like I said i'm just starting).

What are some recommended stores where I can test the shafts and find
which I like best? I know Sports Authority doesn't have this sort of set up.

Third question - Iron Head covers? Really necessary?

Thanks for any help you may provide. I really appreciate it.
