After playing a public course interstate with a mate who is off 11 and hiring a set of clubs that were over 20 years old and not one club was of the same make!!! and the putter must have been used as a sledge hammer in its previous life he shot a 12 over round. So can clubs make so much difference?!

I agree with Lucky...In the right hands, clubs that have been designed to take advantage of technology can prove to be very useful. A player who knows what type of technology they should take advantage of (like cavity backed mid-sized irons) will improve when putting them into play.
However, with that said, someone who is close to a single digit handicap (like your mate) can use a variety of different club types and probably get a relatively similar result at the start. The fact is, he's good at the game and has developed the skills to a point where clubs definitely make a difference, but only over time. Although he's talented, he wouldn't be expected to get a brand new set of "players" irons and automatically better his game. However, over time the clubs will give him confidence and more versatility, which will make him a better player.
