New to golf? a guide just for you!

You enter a golf store and you might get confused 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 new to the wonderful world of golf, the task of selecting the golf clubs 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 main types of golf clubs: the Woods, the Irons, the Wedges and the Putter. Today, you might actually see hybrid clubs. A hybrid club is a mixture between a wood and an iron. People who find it difficult to hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, might prefer to use these clubs. In competition golf you are allowed upto 14 clubs in your bag in any grouping. An example of a good 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, 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. Howver you would definitely save a lot of money buying second hand golf clubs, you may encounter some issues like 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 deciding on buying a new or old set, 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. 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 purchase a complete beginner 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. Although this set only has 11 or 12 clubs, as your game progresses, you could decide for yourself on which club to add to your set. You could eventually add a 2 iron, another wedge or a hybrid club.
