Important Facts About Beginning Golf Equipment
Article by Edward Meyer
Most beginning golfers go immediately on an unnecessary spending spree. It is essential to have certain pieces of equipment so you can get your game off on the right foot. But not every product advertised on television or in infomercials will help improve your game. More often than not these pieces of equipment will do little to help your game and a lot to hurt your wallet. You’re better off focusing on a few key pieces of golf equipment and saving the advanced gadgets for later.
The first thing that you should devote your money toward is a nice 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. Everyone has his or her own needs when it comes to driver. Most of the time drivers with flexible shafts permit for more distance although less power. If you have problems with hooks, slices, or rogue balls you might prefer sacrificing distance for added control by using a steel shafted driver.
You should also take a bit of time to delve into the most comfortable shaft length for you to utilize prior to spending money also. This will take some trying out to discover the greatest length, although it will be time spent well when it comes to not having as much back pain after 18-holes.
Having ball markers is also important.They are especially important if you’re playing in a group. You will use these markers to mark where your ball stopped on the green without interfering with the play of the others in your group. Golf etiquette states that the person whose ball is furthest from the hole plays first. So without a ball marker to mark your ball’s spot, it could interfere with the play of the other balls on the green. When playing with a group, it is incredibly important to have ball markers and they’re not expensive.
Finally invest in a solid set of beginner’s golf clubs. You don’t want to invest in the priciest set of clubs you can find when you’re first learning the game. When learning the game, you don’t know if you need steel shafts or flexible shafts. You don’t know what height is best for you. As a beginner, you’re not ready to decide if a pair of gloves or new clubs will help you gain more control and get better distance. Many beginning golfers will be tempted by the many pieces of golf equipment available. This sport offers all kinds of bright and distracting gadgets for players to choose from.
When you take your time and buy only the pieces of golf equipment you absolutely need as a beginner then you can build up your inventory as you become more proficient at the game and more serious about playing. You’ll be ready to move to the next level in no time if you start with these basics.
