Club fitting is definitely not recommended... YET! Until you get the basics down and know how to make good contact with the ball you shouldn't start with expensive clubs like Titleist or Callaway or even Nike.
There are several options out there but I highly recommend the Golden bear set that you could purchase at Costco. These are a very nice set for a beginner. It comes complete with all the woods, driver, irons 3-PW, putter and a bag. They are not "cheaply" made like others out there. Try them and you'll be surprise with the quality and fit. I would say after a year or using (or abusing) them, you'll get your money's worth.
Once you get a set, visit your local golf course and take lessons. Taking lessons would help you... better yet... prevent you from picking up all the bad habits. Taking lessons will help you learn the basics and get you to enjoy playing sooner than you think. Good luck and hit them straight.

Golf Clubs for beginners – The problem is you have not played enough to know what you like. I suggest you burrow a set or my a few clubs to practice with the first couple months. Every time a company has a demo day in your area you should go and hit all the clubs you can. You can have the company rep fit you, over time you will get a feel for what works for you. When you come across that club that you just have to have because you hit it so good buy it. Now if price is a problem write down all the specs of the clubs so you can start looking for a good deal on a used set. Make sure you get a chance to hit the clubs a few times before you buy them or that you can return them it you don’t like them. When buying used it’s only a good deal if it’s the club for you. Meaning you buy a set of white dot Pings for $200.00 and you need red dots, you just wasted your money on a club you can’t hit. Play it again sports is a good place for your first set of clubs.
Clubs fitting
Those are all good clubs the important thing is getting the right club for you. The club needs to look good to you, the right lie angle and shaft flex are also very important. I have some good links on my blog roll that can help you find the right set. I suggest you go to as many demo days as you can Go to the company website to find out dates and times of demo days. Don't purchase a club until you hit it or one like it, unless you can return it for full credit if you don't like it.

I would say that any brand of golf club would be of benefit to a beginning golfer. Try purchasing clones, which are similar to name brands. Also, go for "offset" clubheads, which are great for beginners because many start out with bad habits and offsets assist with minimizing slices and hooks. Try going with putter, 1,3,5,7 woods, 3,5,7,9 and pitching/sand wedge. You will not go wrong with less than 14 clubs, and that you can definitely mix and match brands with that set. Saves money and you will at least have something functional.

I would say try a set of Ram or Wilson clubs.. They are great and affordable for beginners but are also good clubs for intermediate players... Good luck!
