Starting golf? We got a guide for you!

Posted: January 24th, 2010 under Uncategorized.

You might enter a golf shop and are overwhelmed with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you see aswell as the golf balls, clothing and other golf clubs accessories. If you are new to the wonderful world of golf, the job of picking golf clubs etc that would work for you, could be a bit challenging.

The first thing you should know is what a set of clubs is made up of. There are four main types of golf clubs: the Woods, the Irons, the Wedges and the Putter. Today, you might actually see hybrid clubs. A hybrid club is a cross of a wood and an iron. People who find it difficult to hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, might prefer to use these clubs. You are allowed to have up to 14 clubs and could be in any combination. An example of a good combination for your golf clubs would be one driver, one 4 wood, 3 through 9 iron, a lob wedge, a gap wedge, a sand wedge, a pitching wedge and one putter. However, the combination would entirely be up to you or the golfer as different combinations work for other people.

You will then need to know the other options available to you as you buy your golf clubs. You can either buy used or new. Although you would definitely save more if you choose to buy used golf clubs, you may encounter some issues like cracked shafts, worn grips and other problems that a new set of golf clubs would surely not have. If you are buying your first set, it usually makes more sense to buy new ones.

After deciding on buying a new or old set, you now have to decide if you will be getting a complete set or will just buy individual clubs by your own to make one set. However putting together your own set is often a lot more expensive than buying a readymade set. Buying a complete set also save you time and money.

If you are new to golf, it is recommended to buy the complete starter set, which includes one driver, a 3 wood, a 5 wood, the 3 through 9 irons, one pitching wedge and your putter. This could also include one sand wedge and a bag for your golf clubs. As this set will only have 11 or 12 clubs, as you game gets better you may decide to add to your set with individual purchases. You could eventually add a 2 iron, another wedge or a hybrid club.
