If your a beginner, then you will definetly need a glove for your offhand. (if your a righty, your left hand, if your a lefty your right hand) This will keep you from getting blisters. I reccomend going to the driving range and practicing before you go to an actual golf course. Try to aim for certain things they have their, (flags, boats etc.)
Golf Tips, Lessons, Instruction & Drills – The Grip (new)
Purchasing the most expensive golf clubs you can find doesn’t mean you’ll see an improvement in your golf game or your level of enjoyment. You need to pick clubs that feel good to you and have the right amount of flexibility in the shaft for your swing strength.
Step1
Ask a golf professional at your local club or local golf retailer to measure your swing. The speed of your swing determines the appropriate flex for your club shaft, which can improve your comfort and distance.
Step2
Rent clubs when you go golfing, choosing different styles each time you play so you get a feel for several different types and sizes before you make a purchase.
Step3
Ask friends and family members who golf to let you try out their clubs. Question them about why they chose the clubs they have and what they like and dislike. They may be able to guide you to a club, or help you avoid making their mistakes.
Step4
Purchase only a novice half set of golf clubs to start. The half set includes all the clubs you need to play the game, without all the extras. Many beginners find that using a half set makes it easier for them to select the best club.
Tips & Warnings
When you purchase a half set of novice clubs, buy a set from a recognized manufacturer so you can add to it as your golfing skills improve and you’re ready to advance to more clubs.
Dude Destroys Hot Girlfriend’s Laptop with Golf Club
I am interested in beginning golf, I have played it a couple times and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been looking at golf clubs online but I don’t have a clue as to what brand, kinda, etc would be more compatible for me. I don’t have a lot of money, I was hoping to stay under 150, maybe 175 tops for a complete set. I will take any and all suggestions as to some good quality clubs for a beginner
Callaway x20 or x22irons, Taylormade R7 R9 are also nice
I’m going to take up a series of lessons (five 1hr sessions) for $300. what are reasonable expectations should I have from only 5 hrs of beginner lessons? Is it worth it or should I just pick up a book and head out to a driving range?
Lessons are the way to go. You will be shown the proper position of the hands on the club, ball placement, when to use what club. Some people can learn from a book and some can’t or maybe not as well.

Beginner golf club sets? Affinity vs Jack Nicklaus vs Top Flite vs Ram?
I’m looking to get started in golf and am comparing many different sets. However, I don’t know which brand to trust with my $200 to $300. Any suggestions? I’m looking at an Affinity set for $300 from the local golf store, a Jack Nicklaus set for $250 from Costco, A Top Flite set for $160 from Meijer (department store), or a Ram set for $189 from another golf store.
Thanks!
Oh yeah, a couple more: Hippo GBX and John Daly JD 500 sets both for $200.
Thanks again!
Here is the thing about your first set of clubs, you need to play 15 or 20 sometimes more before you will have a good idea what type of clubs you want. You first set needs to be something with a bigger sweet spot that is more forgiving. I think a used set sometimes is best. The reason to go with a cheap set at first is so you don’t lose a lot of money. Once you have played enough to know what you want, go to as many demo days as you can. Have them fit you. All the sets mention are about the same but one person may perfer one over the other. I”m sure you can get the same sets used for $80.00. I have a lot of club info links on my blog roll
The single best choice out of all gifts for the golf beginner is golf lessons. There is nothing that the beginning golfer can benefit from more.
Even the best of golfers could use a tip or two at times to improve their game. Tiger Woods did not learn golf overnight. Tiger, probably the best golfer in the world, still takes lessons. Certified Golf Professionals are the ideal trainers, fully qualified to teach you how to play the game.
Beginner Tips – The Secret Tip Every Beginner Golfer Should Know
What makes golf so complex when compared to other sports? There are a few reasons, however exactitude is probably the number one factor when comparing the game of golf to other activities. You have much less room for error compared to sports like baseball, for example.
Baseball uses a much bigger ball and you have a comparatively larger bat to swing with. You have several chances of hitting the ball to make a play. And of course you then have the benefit of other players to help you accomplish your goal of either getting to the home plate, or making field plays to cause the other team to reach 3 outs so that your team can move up to bat.
With golf, you must hit the ball perfect each and every time you are up for your shot. You have one swing and that’s it. The room for error is so minuscule due to the tiny size of the ball and the clubface. And with people watching, the pressure can really cause those nerves to get a bit uneasy. This is why golf is a lot harder than most people think.
Beginner Tip: Take It Slow
For those of you that are new to golf and have not quite grasped what we are trying to explain here about the difficulty levels of the sport, you should take time to follow a few basic tips that every seasoned golfer adhered to when they first started playing.
What is the most important tip for beginners? Take the game slow and keep things simple. The obstacles of golf for the beginner player are mostly mental. With the intensity of concentration, focus, and pressure from an audience, one of the best tips that you can appreciate is to simply take it slow.
Learn the game at whatever pace suits you. Many newbie golfers tend to go all out, buy a brand-new set of golf clubs, hit the ball at a driving range for a few days, and then immediately run out and start playing on a prestigious 18-hole golf course.
I understand that you are probably excited and want to jump right in headfirst, but compare the game to swimming. Before you knew how to swim, did you just dive into the deep section of your local swimming pool? Of course not. How could you expect to do the same with golf?
Moving too fast will only lead to frustration and eventually you will quit playing.
