Choosing Golf Equipment

By Owen Jones


Buying golf clubs can be like throwing your money into the wind, but armed with some fore-knowledge, you can save yourself time and money when you're choosing your golf clubs. As in many things, you can either spend a lot of money in one go or you can spend a little several times, until you get what you really need.

If you are just beginning and are not 100% certain that you want to commit yourself to the addictive game of golf, you should either rent golf clubs at the clubhouse on the golf course, or buy a beginner's set of golf clubs.

Purchasing a set of starter golf clubs enables you to become accustomed to them; enabling you to concentrate on your swing instead of wondering how this set of miss-matched golf clubs you just rented is going to pan out.

As you become better at golf, you should invest in a better set of clubs more fitted to you.

Generally, a set includes a driver, one or two fairway woods, numbers 4-9 irons, a wedge or two and a putter.

Once become more experienced and start thinking about new clubs, you may want to think about purchasing your driver separately. Some players want a driver to give them more accuracy, others need more distance.

There are various types of golf ball available and the golf ball box will often have a chart on the back to direct you to the right ball for your requirements. As you learn more about the game and get better at it, you should experiment with different balls which could improve your accuracy and/or your distance.

Having the right golf equipment is an important aspect of the game, so take care and buy wisely!
