Hey everyone.

So I am starting to get into golf and have no clue what to look for when buying clubs.  I don't want a completely beginner set seeing as I pick sports up pretty quick and can already drive the ball straight pretty much  everytime..

What clubs would you recommend?

Before you get clubs, find yourself a golf clinic. These clinics give basic lessons to beginners to get them started in golf. Often, the people who conduct the clinics will lend you clubs to get you started.

A golf pro at one of these clinics could help you decide what clubs you need.

Too many beginners - and unfortunately lots of people who have been playing for awhile - think of golf clubs mainly in terms of club heads. Half the club is the shaft. The shaft can vary in length, stiffness, weight and other qualities. You want to make sure you get a shaft that fits your swing.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Get a set of used clubs with good grips, that are considered max golf improvement clubs. Realize these clubs will be used for only a  year or so. This will get you to learn to hit the ball right away. They will be more forgiving. Next year you will have a better idea what you are doing, how you hit the ball etc. Dicks has some older models that are new and reasonable in price, if you want a new set. Golf doesn't have to be expensive to get equipped with. Then find a local muni course to be able to practice and get out as much as you want for a reasonable price.

There are several good places on the web to buy good used clubs. www.global golf .com is a good site.

Good luck.

      Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…

      Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him.

      Anyone Shipped Their Golf Clubs?

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
