Beginners Golf Clubs

When you're starting out at anything you want to make sure that you've got the best equipment to suit your burgeoning talent. Whilst there may be a huge temptation to go out and get the very best gear, it is often far better to learn using apparatus more befitting of your amateur status. This is rarely truer than when taking up the game of golf.

Getting To Grips With Golf

Golf is a game that requires constant training and improvements; even the top professionals regularly have to tweak their game in order to keep ahead of the field. When you are getting under way you will have to work out what kind of game you play and what shots best suit your technique. To learn all of this takes time, dedication and practice.

This educational period can be extremely frustrating and your golf equipment can often bear the brunt of the learning process. Therefore it is advisable that you get some golf clubs that will allow you to develop your game whilst also taking any punishment you dish out, and most importantly, without costing you a small fortune to replace.

Choosing Your Beginner Clubs

Beginner golf clubs from top brands like Regal, Slazenger and Wilson are readily available at Online Golf; therefore finding the equipment to get you started should be no problem at all. The basic clubs required for a round of golf are a range of irons from a 3 to a 9, a putter and a pitching or sand wedge just in case you fall foul of a bunker. These clubs should be more than enough to guide you through your formative days on the golf course.

However, if you'd rather have a full collection of clubs from a single golfing manufacturer such as Top Flite, Hippo and Ben Sayers, you may prefer one of our golf package sets. These all-encompassing sets provide you with a full collection of golf clubs as well as often featuring a fully equipped golf bag to cart them around the course in. Ranging between 10 and 12 individual clubs, they include irons, wedges, a putter, a wood and a driver. Depending on the particular set, you may also choose to get one or more hybrid wood clubs, otherwise known as a rescue club.

The Hybrid Wood Explained

The hybrid wood is a modern replacement for the 3 and 4 irons, which have become increasingly unfashionable with top golf players. As with the low iron clubs, the hybrid wood, or recovery club as it is often referred, has very little elevation, ordinarily between around 18 and 22°. With very little lift, the ball stays relatively close to the ground allowing the golfer to play out of the rough or off of the fairway and run it up to the pin.

Whilst they are an extremely useful club, far outweighing the performance of the original low irons, for beginners the advanced nature of the club is far less beneficial. Therefore you may prefer to get to grips with your iron shots first before making the move onto a hybrid golf club.

Junior & Ladies Golf

Whatever your age or sex, there are plenty of clubs available that will help get you underway. For juniors getting their first start in the sport, there is no shortage clubs specifically designed to allow for their more diminutive stature. Companies such as Kids U.S specialise in producing quality products to suit the next generation of superstar golfers; offering irons, putters and wedges specifically for this ever increasing market.

The influx of ladies into the sport of golf has been reflected in the increased quality and range of modern golf clubs. As with the junior collections, women golfers of all abilities are given a full range of equipment to choose from, produced by the leading golf manufacturers and specifically designed to suit their slightly smaller stature. Ladies clubs can also be beneficial for men with a shorter physique and growing juniors still unable to tackle the longer shafts used in the men's game.

Easily Accessible Sport

So regardless of your gender, physique or age, golf is a hugely enjoyable and widely accessible pastime. Junior, ladies and men's clubs are available from a whole host of top manufacturers, with no shortage of equipment produced for the eager beginner. Catering for all budgets, we have a great selection of clubs on offer that fulfill all the requirements of an aspiring golfer.
