What Golf Equipment Should I Buy?

Buying golf clubs can be like throwing your money into the sea, 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 want.

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 hire golf clubs at the clubhouse on the golf course, or buy a beginner’s set of golf clubs.

Buying a set of starter golf clubs enables you to become accustomed to them; allowing 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 speaking, a set of golf clubs includes a driver, one or two fairway woods, irons numbered 4-9, one or two wedges and a putter.

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

There are various sorts of golf ball on the market and the golf ball box will usually have a chart on the back to direct you to the right ball for your needs. 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.
