I have bought and sold around $10,000 worth of golf clubs on the Internet, and I have always found that taking photos outside in the sun with some type of natural background is a better way to sell clubs than not.
But, Mike, what type of natural background should I use? I like a flowering plant of some variety, or a green or tee box. If you don't have regular access to a golf course, call a local club and see if they'd let you come out and shoot some clubs on their property. The worst they can say is no.
If you're stuck in the studio, soften all of the lights in the boxes as much as you can. Golf clubs are absurdly shiny, and that creates some problems. Not being completely sure what you're selling, I'd also suggest taking some shots of the shafts because that's nearly as important as the head of the club. I hope it works out well, and that you have a terrific go with it! I'd love to see some of your finished product!
