Beginner’s guide: choosing the right golf equipment

Choosing the right equipment is essential for any golfer, especially beginners. Here’s what you need to know:

• Golf clubs: start with a basic set including a driver, a putter, a sand wedge and a few irons (6, 8) and woods (3, 5). Choose forgiving clubs with a larger sweet spot.
• Golf balls: beginners should favour balls built for distance and durability rather than spin. Affordable options like the Titleist TruFeel or Callaway Supersoft are ideal.
• Accessories: invest in comfortable shoes, gloves for better grip and a sturdy bag. Don’t forget tees and a towel.
• Fitting: a personalized fitting optimizes your equipment based on your height, swing speed and style.

Learning the basics is easier with the right tools. Take the time to find the equipment that suits you.
