Golf beginners are often thrown in at the deep end and it can be a little daunting to work out what gear you need before you hit the fairway. This is the same with any sport really and although you are always going to need the right equipment such as irons and golf balls, some are more important than others.

This list will serve as a good starting point;

A set of golf irons – Choosing the right irons varies from person to person and much is down to personal preferance and experience. With that said, they can greatly improve your game. Forged blade irons are for those that are serious about golf, though be warned that they are harder to master than other irons.

A good pair of golf shoes – If it is your first time, then any sports shoes will suffice, but if you plan on making it a regular thing then dont hesitate to invest in a good set of shoes. These are made for golfers and are built to make sure that your feet remain comfortable and dry, and may have advantages through other features such as spikes and cleats. The same rule applies to the ladies as well – even the most fashion aware woman golfer will find what they can still be stylish when wearing womens golf shoes.

Golf balls to suit your style – Much like irons, above, there are many different types of golf ball and beginners will want to look for ones that are somewhat forgiving as it will help to keep your score down. A distance golf ball will add extra distance onto your shots and in most cases you will have less swerve too. If you are looking for straighter, longer shots then these are the ones to pick.

Some suitable head gear – If you are going to be on the green all day then you will want to get some suitable head gear. A hat will help to keep the sun out of your eyes while also protecting you from sun stroke. This is more common sense than anything else and as they aren’t expensive there is no reason to not have one handy.

You can get most other items as and when you have the money. If you intend on hanging out at the pavilion, you should be sure to check the rules and what attire needs to be worn before entering. You can get some golf shirts and pants if you need them but you shouldnt compromise on the quality of the irons of golf balls that you buy.
