| Golf Clubs What clubs should you have in your Golf bag? A normal full set of Golf clubs consist of 9 Irons. Starting from a 3 Iron to a Sand Wedge, and 3 woods normally 1,3 and 5 woods and of course a putter. So what sort of club to use, well the general rule is the lower the number the further it goes (E.G. 3 Iron), and the higher the number (E.G. 9 Iron) the higher it goes, but it won't go as far. If you are a complete beginner, you could start off with a 5 Iron to practice your swing, so you can gain confidence, before investing in more clubs. But why a 5 Iron? It's because it's the middleclub, so therefore can help you with your swing.Other Equipment Golf bag - To carry a full set you will need a 8"
diameter Golf bag. Golf Glove - Another item not need at first, a Golf glove can help you with your grip and prevent your hands getting blisters. |
