What Golf Equipment Should I Buy?

Purchasing golf clubs can be like throwing your money onto the fire, 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 beginning and are not completely 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 beginner's golf clubs allows 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 clubs includes a driver, one or two fairway woods, numbers 4-9 irons, a wedge or two and a putter.

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

There are numerous types of golf ball on the market and the golf ball box will often have a chart on the back to help you select the right golf ball for your requirements. As you learn more about the game and get better at playing it, you should try out different balls which could help improve your accuracy and/or your distance.

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