What You Should Know Before Buying Your First Set of Golf Clubs

By: Glenn McDonald

Before buying your very first set of golf clubs, there are a few things you should take into consideration.

First, you must decide how often you will play the game.If you only intend to play a couple of times each year, then it is probably best to stick with a cheaper set of clubs, rather than spending a fortune on brand new clubs. But if you're in this for the long haul, then you should do your research and determine which clubs are best for you.

Your level of interest and dedication will be an important factor. If you aren't sure whether or not you will continueto golf, then you should probably look for a cheaper set of clubs or even some second-hand clubs. They will best suit a new player who is testing out the sporting world of golf.If your interest continues to strengthen, you can always buy a new set of clubs in the future.

If you are out of ideas for which set of clubs you should buy, then you can ask around and see what other people think will suit you best. Try asking some friends who like to play golf; they may be able to help. Or ask at a pro shop and see what they would recommend for you. Asking people is the best way to get ideas for which set of clubs could be the best for you.

There is always the option to test drive the golf clubs to get a feel for them and to see if they are the best possible clubs for your swing.

After you make your decision, hunt around at pro shops andeven garage sales. These places will cater to the first time golfer. If you play your cards right, you could very well end up with a bargain bag of golf clubs.

Hints On Golf Putters

You've heard that a golf-specific workout will help you get more distance, so you're pumping iron, jogging religiously, stretching - but you still haven't gained any distance off the tee. What's the deal? An exercise program will indeed help you gain distance, but you also need to have good swing technique to take advantage of your strength and flexibility.

Fairway Bunkers
It goes without saying that if every course designer simply produced holes that were straight, then the game would quickly lose a great deal of the challenge that makes it such an enduring pastime for players. Hence the positioning of hazards such as water, fairway and greenside bunkers and trees.

Now, putting pads and various practice aids have been around for a very long time. You can choose from kits ranging from a simple pad and a cup or those offering such tools as ball return. Regardless of your selection, you can get that extra advantage of some practice time right in your living room or office.

Yardage Has Been Lost
The downside of this shot-making decision is that yardage has been lost and, therefore, a possible birdie opportunity has been missed because there is still a fair amount of ground to be made up before the putting surface can be reached. The solution is to hit the ball so that it bends around the trees at the right moment and makes a greater distance down the fairway, resulting in an approach shot much nearer the hole. The skill called for here is to draw the ball, hitting it initially on a path to the right before it curves round to the left, avoiding the trees and leaving a more desirable lie.

<p>Padraig Harrington is right where he wanted to be. Today he will challenge for the Open, playing in the final pairing alongside Greg Norman, whom he trails by two strokes. All he was looking for was a chance. The fact that he is going for a second successive Claret Jug has little bearing on it, although winning the first one proved to the 36-year-old Irishman that he has the formula for success.</p>
