Buying Golf Equipment

By Rhys Jones

Purchasing golf equipment 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, before 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 buy a starter set of golf clubs.

Purchasing a set of beginner's golf clubs allows you to get used to them; allowing you to concentrate on your swing instead of wondering how this set of miss-matched golf clubs you just rented 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.

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 consider buying your driver as a separate item. Some players want a driver to give them more accuracy, others need more distance.

There are numerous types of golf ball available and the golf ball box will usually have a chart on the back to direct you to the right ball for your needs. As you learn more about the game and get better at it, you should experiment with different balls which could improve your accuracy and/or distance.

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