He could do that without having to ask. He asked for a little more than that, but nobody who has never seen him swing a club can really offer anything useful.
A good top for raising a good player from a young age is to give them half a bag of clubs. Force them to learn to hit a 7 iron like a 6 or 8 iron. No one ever practices that stuff.
I packed around an old standard 3/5/7/9 set, plus a 2 iron, for many years. I went from shooting in the 60s per 9 to dipping under 100 for 18 using that set.
I thought I was pretty uptown when I got my first pitching wedge. I got so good at hitting flop shots with it that I struggled to relearn that shot after I got my first higher lofted wedges.
I played my mom’s Louise Suggs clubs from about 12-14, when I got strong enough to start snapping them…moved on to Dad’s Sam Snead Blue Ridge set. Leather grips, flat on one side…they are currently in my garage…
My old 2 iron (really it was my dad's) had a hard leather grip with a flat side on it. I loved that grip. I crushed that club off the tee and it was the one least likely to go a mile right on me.

I had my mom's Louisa Suggs 5 iron and 9 iron and a putter. I was pretty good in grade school. I could beat my brother
Downhill from there
