Play Golf Every Day?

The rules of golf state that you can have up to fourteen clubs in your bag.

As a beginner you really shouldn’t be thinking about anywhere near that number, (too damn heavy anyway)

Too many clubs when you’re starting out is nothing but confusing.

A much better way forward is to choose a set number of clubs where you can be clear what each clubs is really for.

The best beginner golf clubs need only consist of five clubs, say, a putter, a sand wedge, a seven iron, a seven wood and a three wood. This will get you started and get you used to the different club lengths and the different heights each club has to travel.

Golf can be a frustrating game when you’re a beginner, (it can be a frustrating game when you’re a decent player)

The club set recommended will give you a good chance of getting the ball in the fairly easily without having to concentrate on getting lift on the ball. It gives you grounding in the different flights each club gives you and helps you start to get a feel for the game of golf.

Best Golf Beginner Clubs.

OK, so you know what clubs you will start with.

That’s great, but do they fit you?

Another big mistake people make when buying their clubs (yes, me included) is to go and buy a set of clubs straight off the rack. The likelihood is that your brand new, shiny set of clubs doesn’t fit your body shape.

What happens next is that you spend the next two years adjusting your swing to suit your ill-fitting clubs. This problem is even more pronounced for women golfers, the choice of equipment is not so wide (but getting better) and women often end up with misfit clubs (or God forbid the husbands spare set) which are a sure fire way to swing defects.

The moral of the story is to always spend time in the golf shop, make the sales guy work for his money and don’t leave till you’re happy you and your clubs make a happy marriage.
