Golf can be an intimidating sport to approach as it mostly attracts the well-to-do and can be particularly expensive to maintain. But with the right resources and the resolve to amass basic golfing requirements over time, one can be more than ready to get into this hobby. Here are some pieces of golfing equipment to start with.

Golf clubs: A set of these is made up of different clubs that are designed to match different situations, from teeing off at the start with a driver or attempting to dig the ball right out of the bunker. Typically there are woods, irons including wedges, and a putter. Every club is numbered – the lower the number, the farther it’s meant to send the ball out. Every club is also angled to a differing degree.
Balls: Beginners don’t need to invest on superb and expensive golf balls right off the bat. They’re likely to lose them a lot anyway, and there are no fancy spin or compression stats needed when starting out. That said, the focus should be on finding balls that are playable and affordable and will suit the natural development of one’s game.

Golf clothing and gear: Generally, one needs a glove, worn on the left if one’s right-handed, as well as waterproof shoes with spikes for a firm foundation as one’s makes a swing. Waterproof clothing can protect one on the field, as well as an umbrella and a towel for wiping the clubs down. It’s best to check out the dress code in a specific golf club. As for the golf bag, just make sure it’s comfortable with well-padded straps and can help one while being lugged around a course.
