Golf Equipment All Newbies Should Have

By Andre Riggs


Especially when you first start golfing, it is very easy to become overwhelmed by the number of options available in golf equipment. You will find many pieces of equipment advertised as perfect for new golfers but many fall short of actually being ideal for golfers. Picking the right pieces of equipment that will help you build a solid foundation for your golf game will leave you better off than spending money on equipment that won't help you much with your game.

The first piece of golf equipment to invest in is a golf bag. While this isn't the cheapest piece of equipment you'll come across, it is a worthwhile investment if you plan to play the game for a long time. You will use this piece of equipment to carry around everything else. There are some things to keep in mind as you compare the different brands, styles, and prices. First, make sure the bag is comfortable to carry around. The next thing is whether you want a bag with a built-in stand, which we would recommend if you don't want to rent a cart or hire a caddy every time you play.

The final detail is to make sure it has plenty of room to carry the important equipment that you need on hand with plenty of room to grow.

Next you'll want to invest in a golf ball finder. You can find a pair of special eyeglasses that eliminate the grass from your view making it easier to spot your ball. Golf ball finders help beginners for two reasons. You will save money by losing fewer balls as you learn the game, for one. The other reason is they help you keep track of where your ball goes after you hit it. You can also use it to help identify any problems with your golf swing if you have troubles with your ball veering to the left or right of where you aimed it.

A decent divot tool is also something you will need to invest in. This item won't help your game play but golf has always been and still is a gentleman's sport. Golf etiquette states that you should repair any damage done to the green so as not to impair subsequent players with nicks and clumps you've left behind.

When buying starter golf equipment, start small. Learn more about the game and practice before buying more expensive pieces one at a time to build a set that will help you achieve your goals on the course. This is the best way to get the best value out of your golf equipment when your first start golfing.
