I am 50 yo woman playing now for 1.5 years with Callaway clones. Takes lessons fervently. Making great strides. Haven't been formally handicapped yet but would believe it to be about 30. I go to driving range 3-4 times/weeks. Recently started playing on course more often. I have been notoriously buying equipment beyond my skill set. I have gap and lob wedge with that ***** handicao. Now my latest desire is to transition into muscle back clubs. Mainly for ego reasons. Also bidding on a Scotty Cameron putter while I know I can't putt for ****. I will upload my swing video to anyone who thinks they would have good advice for me. I am a golf straight up junkie and try to swing my clubs everyday if I could. Next thing is a golf school for me. Help me before I buy again.
If you are taking lessons it is best to stay with one teacher. Too much information can cause brain freeze from overload. But if you'd like a second opinion, I enjoy analyzing from video, and would be happy to take a look.
I would really stay away from the muscle backs, they are beyond your skill level. If you want to buy some equipment, why not a nice set that includes a few hybrids. A great set of Adams A3OS, may help your game and lower your score. Just an opinion.
Sounds like you got it bad. I feel your pain.
From my short golf life I have learned that forgiving equipment can help greatly.
Jaybones got it right and that Scotty Cameron putter won't put it in the cup any better than a Knock off, trust me I've got one.

Agree -- sell the Scotty on Ebay, then use the proceeds to buy a used original Ping Anser 2 putter on Ebay along with several hybrids. For a beginner, the right used clubs can be more valuable than the wrong new clubs.
Assuming you got some good Callaway clones that fit you, I'd recommend you stick with them until you get your handicap below 20. Then you can think about new clubs, but not before. What set did you get?
