Buying the Best Clubs for Beginners

Jan 15, 2015 5:34 PM
A new set of clubs for beginners is really not necessary; in fact the higher end clubs can be a hindrance on your game. Golf is unique in the fact that the sport requires a group of instruments and equipment to play in full. Many sports like baseball or basketball just require a few items that are used by an entire team. Golf being an individual sport this aspect changes into a need for the right set of clubs.

Golf clubs are broken down into sets of complete or incomplete as well as irons woods drivers putters wedges and hybrids. Golf clubs can be purchased in any combination of the above but typically for beginners it is good to start with the entire set.  Also womens clubs are sold as sets but typically differ from mens clubs in size. Golf clubs in sets typically come with a bag that has stands on it so it can rest on itself while you are taking your shots. Also golf sets occasionally will come with tops for the heads as well as towels umbrellas and even balls.

Golf club sets can be purchased at a number of places. In order of price most expensive to least you can buy clubs at a pro shop; this will be your most expensive option. You can also buy clubs at sporting good stores or golf specialty stores. For those bargain shoppers you can purchase a full set of clubs at Wal Mart or even your local thrift store. For the internet shoppers eBay offers a great selection of new and used golf club sets.

The cost for a set of clubs can vary from less than $100 for an entire set to over $10000 for the high end clubs. Typically golfers can buy a decent set of clubs for $400 depending on where they are shopping. High end clubs are often bought in singles thus making it more costly to purchase a set. One driver can cost over $1000 at a local pro shop.

The term you get what you pay for isnt true in the world of golf clubs. Unlike cars or computers typically golf clubs can be beneficial at a low cost. Further many prefer cheaper clubs or used clubs because they offer a more standard weight and grip. Golf clubs are uniquely made out of several different materials and can vary depending on a users preference. The cheaper clubs have a level feel to them and dont offer too much of any one element. If a beginner spends a large amount of money on an ultra light driver it could be too light for them to learn the basics of their swing this actually prohibiting them from learning the basics.

Overall its important to start off with a modest set of clubs until your game advances to levels that call for new clubs. Plus with all the money you save you can buy your significant other a set and make a date at the course.
