Choose The Right Tools Before Setting Foot On The Golf Course

Are you serious about playing golf? If so, it is important you select what golfing equipment you want carefully. There are five basic items of golf gear that we believe you need to get started.

The golf ball. I suppose that the most obvious thing that golfers need is the golf ball. They are little balls, usually in white, which have dimples on them to help them fly through the air further. The golf club There are lots of different sorts of golf club but they basically fit into three categories. These are putters, drivers and irons. A golf course is usually on uneven rolling ground. It is normally made up of fairways, rough grass and sand traps. A different type of club is needed to play the best shot from each surface. As many as 14 separate clubs are permitted for professional golfers on their rounds. The drivers are used to hit the longer shots, they are called woods because they used to be made of wood. They are nowadays made of synthetic substances. For shorter shots up to the green, the irons are used. Irons are used to produce a more controlled shot in terms of both the accuracy and distance. It is possible to get a set of matching clubs or you can buy them individually. Golf bags. Carrying a lot of clubs around would not be easy so something to carry the equipment in is essential. To make life a lot easier someone invented the golf bag. There are extra pockets added to them in which you can keep your tees, spare balls, a golf ball cleaner or maybe a water bottle to keep you from dehydrating on a hot day. Your clubs should have a golf club cover so that they are be extra protected whilst they are in your golf bag. Maintaining control of the ball when you are hitting it would be hampered if you got a dent on the head of the club. It is also an advantage to keep your golf club cleaner. Golf shoes. On an average 18 hole golf course you will walk perhaps 3 or 4 miles for a round. The shoes should keep you comfortable when you are walking on the fairway, in rough grass or in a sand bunker. A firm stance is required so that you do not move or shake whilst you are hitting the ball. When you reach the greens they are important in a different way. The greenkeepers spend a lot of time keeping the greens in good condition. Wearing the wrong golf shoes on the putting surface would make them unhappy. Golf tees. The golf tee is the smallest bit of equipment you will need. It is used to rest your balls on while you are driving (Rolls Royce should them in their cars too). The initial shot on each hole is the only time that tees are needed.

Those are the five main items but, when I get older, I think that I might appreciate the golf cart. They make carrying all that equipment around for a few hours a lot easier too.

It might be that you are just seeing whether you like playing golf.

In that case it might be a good idea to hire your golf gear to save money.
