Everything You Need to Know About Grady Golf’s Executive and Executive Plus Sets

Getting started with golf doesn’t have to mean overspending on a massive bag of clubs or guessing what you actually need. The Grady Executive and Grady Executive Plus sets take a smarter, friendlier approach, giving you just the right tools to learn, grow, and enjoy the game without the pressure. Whether you’re brand new or getting back into it, here’s what you need to know.

Mastering golf with Grady Executive set

What’s included in the Grady Executive Set?

The Grady Executive Set comes with four essential clubs: 5-iron, 7-iron, pitching wedge, and putter. That’s it and that’s plenty. These clubs are lightweight, easy to swing, and designed to help beginners hit cleaner shots from the start. You’ll feel the difference in your hands, not just in your scorecard.

Grady Tip: Start with less, swing with more confidence. These clubs are your new best friends on the range.

What clubs come with the Grady Apex Set?

Think of the Grady Executive Plus set as your next-level unlock. It adds a 6-iron, 8-iron, 9-iron, and sand wedge, giving you more options and tighter control once you're ready for it. Whether you’re getting comfortable on a Par 3 or testing out full rounds, this is where your game starts to round out.

Grady Tip: When your shots start going where you meant them to, add the Executive Plus set and see what else you can do.

Why is the Grady Golf set split into two parts?

Golf can be intimidating. That’s why we broke it up. The Executive Set is all about giving you core tools without clutter. When you’re ready to level up, the Plus Set completes your iron lineup with the same feel and finish. It’s a learn-as-you-go setup that grows with your game—not against it.

Grady Tip: Most beginner sets are overloaded and underthought. Ours is built with purpose and a little empathy.

Will the Plus set match my Executive Set?

Yes. 100%. The Plus set is designed to look, feel, and swing just like your Executive Set—so there’s no weird adjustment period. It's like adding four new members to a team that already plays well together.

Grady Tip: Consistency is key, especially when you're building muscle memory. Matching clubs = fewer surprises.

Can I start playing golf with just four clubs?

Absolutely. Most new golfers only need four clubs to learn, practice, and even play full rounds. The Executive Set gives you exactly that: a solid mix of long, mid, short, and putting options. You’re not missing out—you’re actually doing it smarter than most.

Grady Tip: Spoiler: Even pros don’t use all 14 clubs every round. Use what works. Ditch what doesn’t.

Why start with fewer golf clubs?

Fewer clubs mean fewer distractions. Instead of overthinking what to pull from your bag, you’ll spend your time swinging, learning, and gaining confidence. It’s simpler, more focused, and way less frustrating.

Grady Tip: A 7-iron and a good attitude will get you further than a stuffed bag and no clue how to use

Is it cheaper to buy golf clubs in phases?

Definitely. With our “Play Now, Upgrade Later” approach, you don’t need to spend a fortune just to get started. Grab the Executive Set, get comfortable, and add the Plus Set when you're ready. It’s budget-smart and commitment-flexible.

Grady Tip: Buy what you'll actually use. Your wallet (and your backswing) will thank you.

When should I upgrade my golf set?

There’s no rule, but here’s a hint: if you’re hitting the ball well and starting to notice limitations (can’t quite reach the green or escape sand confidently), it’s time. The Plus Set fills those gaps and gives you more tools without changing how you swing.

Grady Tip: When golf starts to feel fun not frustrating that’s usually your signal to level up.

Can I buy the full Grady set all at once?

Yep. You can get the full 8-club lineup Executive + Executive Plus right off the bat. It’s a great move if you’re serious, gifting the set, or just want more club options from day one. Either way, the set’s built to feel cohesive and look sharp.

Grady Tip: Buying both upfront gives you flexibility without the “where did this club come from?” feel.

How should I care for my golf clubs?

Wipe them down after each round (especially the grooves), store them somewhere dry, and use headcovers for protection. Check your grips every few months if they feel slick or hard, it might be time to replace them.

Grady Tip: A clean clubface = a clean strike. Taking 30 seconds after a range session makes a big difference.

Ready to Start with the Right Golf Set?

The Grady Executive and Executive Plus sets were built for real beginners—not pros, not posers, and definitely not people looking to haul around 14 clubs they can’t swing yet. Whether you’re stepping onto the range or walking your first Par 3, these sets give you exactly what you need to enjoy the game, hit better shots, and grow at your own pace. It's confidence in a bag—and it looks damn good, too.
