Choose Golf Clubs – How To

With so many choices for golf clubs in the stores and on the internet, it can be hard to narrow down what brand or type of golf clubs to purchase. I have written this guide to help you to Choose Golf Clubs that will work the best for your needs and your budget.

Your Skill Level

Determine how you intend to play the game. If you are just a weekend player who golfs with friend or co-workers from time to time, a low- to mid-performance club can work for you. If you are more the competative type and you are looking to achieve the best scores possible, a high-performance club may be best for you and those who play the game regularly.

Set a budget

Just because a golf club is the most expensive, does not mean it is the best option. Sometimes the most expensive club will be a high performance club that a beginner would have a difficult time hitting. Do your own investigating, and find a club that suits your skill level, then compare prices. You may also look to buy a used golf club or golf club set. Used Golf Clubs are great if they are in good condition, and you can usually pick them up for quite a bargain.

We’ve determined your skill level and your budget, now it’s time to look at specific golf clubs.

Golf Drivers

Most golfers will carry Golf Drivers in their bag (called 1-wood). It is not essential that you carry a driver, and if you have trouble hitting one, you may want to avoid a driver all together. Golf Drivers that are easier to control are called fairway woods (3/5/7 woods). You may find hitting these golf drivers is much easier than a 1 wood, and make managing a round much easier. Golf Drivers are the longest clubs in the bag. The longer the club, the harder it is to control.

Golf Irons

Golf Irons are for the mid-range to short-range shots. They are grooved on the face to offer more control than your golf drivers. If you are a more skilled golfer you may opt for using a blade style iron. Blade irons are solid one piece heads and are usually smaller faced making them more difficult to control. If you are more of a beginner to the sport i would suggest you go with a cavity back iron. These irons have the back of the club head “hollowed” out and offer much a much more forgiving club face.

Golf Irons are seperated into three different categories. Long range irons are your 1, 2, 3, and 4 irons, Mid-Range irons are the 5, 6, and 7 irons and short-range irons are the 8 and 9 irons. Short irons are the easiest to hit. The higher the number on the iron the more loft it has. The more loft on an iron, the easier it is to hit.

Golf Putters

Golf Putters are the clubs most often used in a round of golf. Golf Putters are used to tap the golf ball in the hole once you have reached the green. Putters come in several different styles. Blade putters, heel-toe putters, and Mallett Putters. Putting is all about feel, and a putter should be bought based on that. Whatever style you are the most comfortable with is the Golf Putter you should buy.

Utility clubs/hybrids

Utility clubs are a somewhat new addition to the golfing world. These clubs are a combination of a Golf Driver and a Golf Iron. The degrees of loft available in these clubs is a pretty wide range. Utility clubs are great for beginner golfers who have not yet mastered the use of Golf Drivers and Golf Irons by themselves

When you Choose Golf Clubs always look at what your needs are, and how you plan on approaching the game of golf. Try some clubs out at your local pro-shop and get a feel for what works the best.

Read About Professional Golf

As with any other sport golf also does have a professional level. The difference between playing professional golf and amateur golf, however, can be a very fine line. There are a lot of amateur golfers that can score at the professional level, however, they are unable to do it consistently and often miss out on the tournaments that can qualify them to get on the tour.

Nonetheless, it is a dream of many golfers to play professional golf one day and make a living doing something that they truly, truly love. Your office is the course, and your co-workers are people who love the game just as much as you do. You share common interests at the professional level of golf and it can be a very satisfying career. But isn’t that obvious?

Qualifying to play professional golf is another story altogether. The field is very competitive and it can be extremely difficult to break through. Some people try their whole lives to qualify and always come up short. It takes a lot of practice, a lot of dedication, and an ability to take a lot of disappointment to play professional golf, so know what you’re in for!

To get started playing professional golf, you will first have to qualify for “Q School” or Qualifying School. Q Schools are annual qualifying tournament for leading golf tours like the PGA and the LPGA. In Q School, a fixed number of players win membership to the tour for the following season. In professional golf, this is referred to as your “tour card”. You will then be able to play in most of the tour’s events without having to qualify.

Getting through the Q school is very competitive and most professional golfers never achieve it. There can be up to four stages to negotiate each of them like a regular golf tournament with only a small number of players going on to the next state. The final qualifying school may be played over up to six rounds compared with the standard four rounds in a professional golf tournament. However, players who are successful at Q school can reach the elite level of competition very quickly.

You can also qualify to play professional golf in other ways. Finishing near the top of the money list on the tour’s developmental tour, winning a tournament on the tour after qualifying or as a sponsor’s invitee, or winning enough money on multiple events on the tour to meet whatever criteria the tour may lay down for promotion to full membership. This last one was how Tiger Woods gained his first tour card.

Playing professional golf is not an easy career to pursue, but it is a great way to make a living! Persistence, patience, and a great game of golf can all get you on your way to playing professional golf, but be realistic and know that it will take time.
