Buying Those First Golf Clubs

Friday, March 20th, 2009

When beginner golfers go to their local sports store to purchase the clubs they need to kick it off on the golf course they sometimes aren’t exactly sure what to buy. There are wide variety of choices. There are the expensive ones, the cheap ones, the most popular ones, the ones the pros are using. That’s what I’m here for. To help guide you in the right direction for purchasing your first set of golf clubs.

The first thing you should do is get your swing evaluated by a professional first. This way you can buy the clubs appropriate to your specifics. Those people somewhere who make golf clubs has a goal in life: to create golf clubs that maximize “the physics of a golfer’s swing” while allowing for a range of swing error to provide an accurate, yet forgiving shot. The better swing you have, of course, the less forgiving club you require.

Okay, so golf association rules state that you can have no more than fourteen clubs in your bag, one of which has to be a putter. So, we are left with thirteen clubs to get together. Let’s get started.

Woods
There are three woods that golfers need: the 1-driver, 3 and 5. The wood is a hollow-bodied large headed club. These clubs are used when you are 175 yards or more away from the green, specifically off the tee.

Irons
A standard set of irons consists of: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Irons are typically used when you are 200 yards or less from the green. The closer you are to the green, the higher number iron you will use.

bagPutters
If you ever played putt putt then you know what these are for. That’s right! It gets the ball into the hole. It is used on the green only and there are a wide variety of putters out there to choose from.

Now, you don’t have to have a completely full set to start golfing. In fact, my research has shown that it is actually recommended for beginner golfers to start out with a short set. It is recommended to have a 3-wood, 3-iron, 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron and a putter. You can always fill in the missing clubs later once you start to get better, learn your yardage more and become more schooled on the physics of clubs. Initially it is prudent to start with a short second hand set, which can be traded later for a new set.

A great golf club set can be the difference between a good game and a bad game. The golf club set has to be designed to suit your swing and body type. No one set of golf clubs is going to be ideal for everyone.

You can get golf club sets from anywhere. The price of the set will range anywhere from typically anywhere from $170 and can go as high as a couple of thousand dollars. Golf has been a game that has been loved for years and has grown in popularity. In the earlier days you didn’t see very many retailers selling golfing items. Now, there is a golf store in almost every town. It pays to check out some golf club reviews to make sure you get a decent golf club set. These reviews will take individual clubs as well as the entire golf club set and let you know what those who have tested them thought about the club. could it be good for long fairway shots? Was the putter ideal for helping you get that hole in one? If you’re going to invest a lot of money into a set of clubs then you want to make sure it is a set that is going to b worth what you paid for it. Golf clubs can be rather expensinve but can last for years and make for a worthwhile investment.

Nowadays you can purchase golf clubs either in a retail store or online. If you do buy the clubs online remember that you will not be able to test them first. In this case it is very important to make sure that you have previously tested the same name brand and style of clubs before you buy them. You don’t want to get the set and then realize it wasn’t what you wanted or doesn’t work for the way you play the game. Like any other sport you need to make sure that your golf clubs suit you.

Golf if a popular sport and it is growing day by day not only in fans but in players as well. Retailers of golf club sets are growing as well. Every child wants to grow up and be the next Tiger Woods. Every man wants to be the next Arnold Palmer. Every woman wants to be the next LPGA champion. The only way to become that is to practice, practice, practice and to have a golf club set that is made for you and your love of this game. Take your time and choose wisely. Golf is a game that is relaxing and fun once you get the hang of it. First make sure that you love the game enough to make an investment in the tools to play it.
