Starting golf? We got a guide for you!
You might enter a golf shop and are overwhelmed with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you see along with 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 work for you, might be a very difficult.
The first thing you should know is what a set of clubs consists of. There are four main 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 grouping. A good example grouping 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. Howver you would definitely save a lot of money buying second hand golf clubs, you might find some problems such as 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, it usually makes more sense to buy new ones.
After you decide on whether you are going to buy a new or second hand set of golf clubs, you then have to decide if you want to buy a complete set or buy individual clubs to create a custom set of your own. However putting together your own set is often a lot more expensive than buying a readymade set. Buying a complete set also save you time and money.
If you are new to golf, 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.
