Starting golf? We got a guide for you!
You might enter a golf shop and you might get confused with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you encounter along with the golf balls, clothing and other golf clubs accessories. If you are new to the wonderful world of golf, the task of selecting the golf clubs that would suit you, could be a bit challenging.
The first thing you should know is 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 cross of a wood and an iron. People who are having a hard time hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, prefer to use these clubs. You are allowed to have up to 14 clubs and could be in any combination. A good example 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, the combination would entirely be up to you or the golfer as different combinations work for other 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 might find some problems such as cracked shafts, worn grips and other problems that a new set 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 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. Purchasing a complete set also saves you the hassle and the time in making decisions.
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 your putter. This could also include one sand wedge and a bag for your golf clubs. 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.
