What Golf Equipment Should I Buy?

By Rhys Jones

Purchasing golf equipment 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 selecting 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, before you get what you really need.

If you are just starting out and are not completely sure 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 starter set of golf clubs.

Buying a set of starter golf clubs enables you to get used to them; enabling you to concentrate on your game instead of pondering how this odd set of golf clubs you just hired is going to pan out.

After you become better acquainted with the game of golf, you should consider investing in a better set of golf clubs which are more suited to you.

In general, a set of golf clubs includes a driver, one or two fairway woods, irons numbered 4-9, one or two wedges and a putter.

Once 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, some need more distance.

There are numerous types of golf ball available 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 distance.

Having the right golfing equipment is an important aspect of the game, so buy wisely! - 32375
