Golf Equipment Every Beginner Needs

By Victor Moldey


Every beginning golfer needs some equipment essentials in order to really get started with the game of golf. There are some pieces that are really no-brainers and others that might surprise you to learn you need. This article shares some about some of the disbeliefs that might not cross your mind when acquiring your first pieces of equipment to aid you in playing the game of golf. When you begin with magnificent golf equipment you'll come to see that you take pleasure in the game play quite a bit better and that you get a great deal more out of the full experience.

Gloves are one of the first investments you should make as a golfer. Golf gloves are designated for left or right handed golfers and typically come in packs of one. Golf gloves can be found in pairs but unless it's your preference, it isn't necessary to have two gloves. You may be wondering why gloves are so important for golfing. Many people get blisters from gripping the club but wearing gloves will help prevent them. Make sure that any gloves you buy don't cut off your circulation which will interfere with game play. Your next investment should be a high quality putter.

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. It's also important to have ball markers. This is especially important if you play with a group. These markers allow you to mark where your ball came to a stop without interfering with the play of the others in your group. The person whose ball is furthest from the hole plays first according to common golf etiquette. If markers are not used, your ball could interfere with the play of the people playing before you. When playing with a group, this piece of inexpensive equipment is incredibly important.

A final piece of equipment you should invest in is protective eyewear. As beginning golfers purchase their equipment, they often overlook the importance of this item. It is important to remember, however, that golf is a game played outdoors in the elements. Not protecting your eyes from the sun can result in serious damage. And if you don't have to constantly shield your eyes, it is easier to keep track of where you want your ball to go and where it actually goes.

Starting small when buying starter golf equipment is the best way to go. Build the set that will help you achieve your goals on the course, buying the more expensive pieces one at a time after you've had time to learn more about the game and to practice more. Follow these tips to get the most value for your money when you first begin golfing.
