A lot less equipment is needed when a person first starts golfing than many realize. While you can find many fun looking gadgets, you won't need those until you've mastered the basics of the game. You won't benefit from the advanced equipment, anyway, until you've mastered the basics. Keep the following important tools in mind as you assemble your beginner golf kit.
The first piece of golf equipment to invest in is a golf bag. If you intend to play the game for a long time, a golf bag is a good investment but not necessarily a cheap one. You will carry everything else in your golf bag. You'll need to keep a few things in mind when comparing brands, styles, and prices. The first thing is to make sure the bag is comfortable to carry. The next thing is whether you want a bag with a built-in stand, which we would recommend if you don't want to rent a cart or hire a caddy every time you play.
The final thing is to make sure it has plenty of room and organizational capacity to carry around the most important equipment for you to have with room to grow. Your next investment should be a high quality putter. Many people spend all their time and attention focused on drivers and woods hoping to get extra distance. But focusing on your short game, the strokes that take place on or near the green, will help you in bringing your game to the next level. Try a few putters out in the store, most golf stores have a small "green" area where you can check them out to get a feel for the putter to see which loft, shaft length, and grip you prefer best, and then compare prices online to get the best deal.
Protective eyewear is another investment you need to make. The importance of this equipment often gets overlooked by beginning golfers as they purchase their equipment. But remember, that golf gets played outside in the elements. Not protecting your eyes from the sun can result in serious damage. Not only will it be easier to see where you want your ball to go if you don't have to constantly shield your eyes, but you can keep better track of where actually goes,
You can add years of enjoyment to your game by buying the right equipment but it doesn't have to cost a fortune. Whether you're just learning golf or returning to it, it can be easy to get distracted by the fancy bells and whistles that are now available. Stick with these great pieces of beginning golf equipment and you should be in great shape.
