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 just starting to play golf, the task of selecting the golf clubs 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 major 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 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 combination. 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, the combination would entirely be up to you or the golfer as different combinations work for other people.
You then need to know your available options 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 of clubs, it usually makes a lot of sense to buy new clubs.
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 purchase a complete beginner 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. 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.
