From what I’ve read, I’ll definitely need to get new drivers

Completely disagree on new driver, 3, 5, 7.

You can pick up these clubs used for a small fraction of new prices. And if no one has worn the grooves off the face, then there are just fine. You DO want to stick with the top brands like Taylormade, Titlest, Callaway, Ping... And made in the past ten years or so.

You can easily spend $1000 on new metal/woods. Should be able to get a driver, 3, and 5 or 7 for $200 or so if you don't mind a few scuffs and scratches - which you would put on new ones anyway.

And pro shops often have racks of great clubs in the lost and found that they sell after a year or so.

I'd ask a weekend guy if he could put a cool not-perfectly-matched-set together for 100 or 150. Bet he could.

Check out PGA touring pros bags AFTER the the company reps do the bag checks - almost NONE of them are hitting matched sets of anything.
