All golfers have to have a set of golf clubs. Beginners can be clueless on what clubs they actually need. Here are some tips on what to get.
Oftentimes, beginner golfers face the dilemna of what it is they have or need to buy when they go to their local store to purchase their first golf clubs. And why won't they be? There a lot of different things to choose from. From the cheapest to the most expensive golf clubs, the most popular ones or the ones the pros are using. And this article is aimed to help you and guide you in buying your first set of golf clubs.
Golf clubs manufacturers create golf clubs with the goal of maximizing "the
physics of a golfer's swing" but at the same time allowing for a range of swing
error to provide and accurate, yet forgiving shot. So to be able to choose the
golf clubs most appropriate to your specifics, you have to get evaluated by a
professional before going to the store. So the better swing you have, you need
the less forgiving club.
The rule of thumb according to association rules is that you can't have more than fourteen clubs in your bag and one has to be a putter. So let's get on.
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.
Wedges
Just a fancy word for a specialty iron really. Common used wedges in golfers’
sets are the pitching wedge, sand wedge, approach wedge, lob wedge and high lob wedge. These clubs can be extremely useful to a golfers game. These assist you in controlling your shots.
Putters
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.
As a beginner golfer, you don't really have to buy a complete full set to start golfing. You can start out with a short set which consist of a 3-wood, 3-iron, 5-iron, 7-iron, 9-iron and a putter. And once you get better, learn your yardage better and more knowledgeable on the physics of clubs, you can just buy the missing clubs later. Or you may just buy a short set second hand for a start, sell it later or trade it in for a new full set.
