A Golf Club Shopping Guide for Beginners- Buying Golf Club Sets – Some Available Options

You enter a golf store and are overwhelmed with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you see along with the golf balls, clothing and other golf accessories. If you are just starting to play golf, the task of selecting the golf clubs that would work for you could be a bit challenging.

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 may also come across hybrid clubs. A hybrid club is a cross of a wood and an iron. People who are having a hard time hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, prefer to use these clubs. You are allowed to have up to 14 clubs and could be in any combination. An example of a good combination 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 different 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 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 now have to decide if you will be getting a complete set or will just buy individual clubs by your own to make one set. Putting together your own set would be a bit more expensive compared to just buying a set of clubs that is already complete. Purchasing a complete set also saves you the hassle and the time in making decisions.

If you are a beginner, it is recommended to buy the complete starter 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.

Keep in mind that getting expensive golf clubs will not improve your game or help you play better. You should not spend $300 on just one driver if you could spend a lot less to get everything you need in one package. Getting a complete set would be the best option to save you money that would later on need for replacing lost golf balls.

It is true that some professionals like to select every club individually as per their specific requirement; it may be too much of a hassle for the weekend player to get into that. Especially if you are new to the sport, it is a better idea to go for a complete set – after all you may make a couple of wrong decisions if you go for individual ones. The complete set would provide every club you will need to play a complete and uninterrupted game, while it saves you the task of painstakingly selecting individual ones shop after shop. No doubt it works out cheaper as well when you buy a set. You may well get a good discount, unlike buying one at a time. Read on to find out a little more about club sets for the game of golf.

You may be wondering why you need a whole set.

Well, if you a professionally qualified player one can understand if you want to select every club of your kit to specific requirement. But if you are a beginner do not get carried away with this idea when you see a pro buying individual clubs. After all it takes years of practice to perfect any sport, and that holds so very true with golf. Rather than bungle up by buying the wrong clubs, you would be better if getting hold of a set. And what?s more, you?d probably get a discount on the kit, which is not very probable when you buy one club at a time. So, unless you are a seasoned veteran it is better to go for a kit. You could always add to it one step at a time when you are sure of what you need to change right?

The kit would include?

Different manufactures offer different packages when you go for a golf club kit, but any set should contain all the clubs needed to play a complete round of golf. Some companies throw in a few free balls, while others provide a kit bag to hold the clubs. You will no doubt be given a good driver with a fair number of woods and irons as well. The putter and the wedge should also be included in the set of clubs. The kit bag generally has pockets to hold your other odds and ends while a more comprehensive kit would include accessories such as gloves as well. What you buy is more of a preference based option, and one that is only limited by your needs and by your personal budget.

So go ahead and get a complete set of clubs if you are new to the game.
