Total $415 to start!!!and that's pretty basic. I gave away a bunch of my old gear this year to some rookies...hopefully that will help them.
I echo what Irish said about the National School. I went to my first one this year and it had rookies and people who had no clue what the basic mechanics where. Not going to say it was a waste of time/money but I didn't get a whole lot out of it because it had to be toned down because of them. It was excellent for them but left us that are between beginner and advanced bored as heck.
We are lucky here in Tulsa that we have had some of the basic mechanics training. Rules are important, but mechanics are even more important for the rookies.
