Choosing Golf Equipment

By Rhys Jones

Purchasing golf clubs 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, until you get what you really want.

If you are just beginning and are not 100% 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 purchase a beginner's set of golf clubs.

Purchasing a set of starter golf clubs enables you to become accustomed to them; enabling you to concentrate on your swing instead of wondering how this set of miss-matched golf clubs you just rented is going to work 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.

Generally, a set 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 think about buying your driver separately. Some players want a driver to give them more accuracy, others need more distance.

There are various 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 needs. 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 golf equipment is an important part of the game, so take care and buy wisely! - 23802
