Golf Equipment Every Learner Should Obtain

By Hue Bedlion


Most beginning golfers go immediately on an unnecessary spending spree. Certain pieces of golf equipment will help you get your game off on the right foot. That doesn't mean that every shiny new object advertised on television, golf shows or infomercials is going to do loads to improve your golf game. More often than not these pieces of equipment will do little to help your game and a lot to hurt your wallet. Save the advanced gadgets for later, and focus on a few key pieces of golf equipment when you first start playing.

The first thing you need to invest in is a good driver. The first thing you need to be aware of is that there are some "specialty" drivers which aren't quite certified by the PGA. In keeping with where you are and what your aspirations are as a golfer, it's possible this is not a snag for you. Everybody has their own needs when it comes to drivers. Normally, drivers that have flexible shafts grant greater distance yet a lower amount of control. If you have difficulty with hooks, slices, or rogue balls you may wish to let go of distance for more control by using a steel shafted driver. You should also spend some time to look at the most comfortable shaft length for you to use before you buy also. This will take some trial and error to figure out what the ideal length is, on the contrary it will be time well spend when it comes to having lesser back pain after 18-holes.

Another good purchase for beginner golf equipment is golf balls. Odds are you'll lose plenty of balls in the beginning. It can take time to find the ball that matches your style of golf. For beginning golfers looking for the right equipment, buying recycled golf balls is a good way to go. Recycled balls come in large packages of mixed brands and have been recovered from water hazards. This method gives you an inexpensive way to try out various brands to find the best fit for you.

A high quality putter is the next piece of equipment to invest in. Many people spend all their time and attention focused on drivers and woods hoping to get extra distance. If you're really interested in bringing your game up to the next level, the short game (the strokes that take place near or on the green) is going to be where you need to improve most. After you test out a few putters at a golf store to see which loft, shaft length, and grip you prefer best, you can compare prices online so you get the best deal.

There are all kinds of covers available from the utilitarian to the whimsical so have fun with this purchase and let it say something about your own personal style.

Beginning golfers can be tempted to buy many different pieces of golf equipment. There are several distracting gadgets and gizmos available for golfers. But take your time, buying only the equipment that you need as a beginner and build your inventory as your game improves. You'll be ready to move to the next level in no time if you start with these basics.
