New to golf? a guide just for you!
You might enter a golf shop and are overwhelmed with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you see aswell as the golf balls, clothing and other golf clubs accessories. If you are just starting to play golf, the job of picking golf clubs etc that would suit you, might be a very difficult.
First, you would need to know what a set of clubs is made up of. There are four major types of golf clubs: the Woods, the Irons, the Wedges and the Putter. Today, you may also come across hybrid clubs. A hybrid club is a mixture between a wood and an iron. People who are having a hard time hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, might prefer to use these clubs. You are allowed to have up to 14 clubs and could be in any combination. An example of a good combination for your golf clubs would be one driver, one 4 wood, 3 through 9 iron, a lob wedge, a gap wedge, a sand wedge, a pitching wedge and one putter. However, that is just an example, the combination is you choice or the golfer as different combinations work for different people.
You will then need to know the other options available to you as you buy your golf clubs. You can either buy used or new. Although you would definitely save more if you choose to buy used golf clubs, you may encounter some issues like cracked shafts, worn grips and other problems that a new set of golf clubs would surely not have. If you are buying your first set of clubs, it usually makes a lot of sense to buy new clubs.
After deciding on buying a new or old set, you now have to decide if you will be getting a complete set or will just buy individual clubs by your own to make one set. Putting together your own set would be a bit more expensive compared to just buying a set of clubs that is already complete. Buying a complete set also save you time and money.
If you are a beginner, it is recommended to buy the complete starter set, which includes one driver, a 3 wood, a 5 wood, the 3 through 9 irons, one pitching wedge and a putter. This sometimes includes a bag for your clubs and a sand wedge. As this set will only have 11 or 12 clubs, as you game gets better you may decide to add to your set with individual purchases. You could eventually add a 2 iron, another wedge or a hybrid club.
