Playing golf needs a lot of equipment and it is quite difficult to find out which types of equipment suit you. Sometimes, you may not even aware what kinds of equipment are really needed. Learning the ways and strategies to choose the right type of equipment which suits yourselves is one of the essential golf training aid which could not only save your money but also improve your golfing skill effectively.


Clubs

Clubs are sold in full set of 14 or in half set of 7 or by individual piece. For beginners, it is not suggested to buy a very high quality clubs in full set. Usually beginners are not skillful enough to bring it into full play. Besides, it may also cause damage to the clubs due to misusage. On the other hand, it is not recommended to buy only one or two individual piece of club because one could never play good golf with them. Therefore, beginner is suggested to buy a half set of medium quality clubs, i.e. 5 irons, a wood and a putter to start with. Talk with a professional player and get his advice on choosing the clubs which suit your height, weight and grip before you buy.


Golf Bags

A pro-style bag is very heavy which usually needs a trolley or a real strong shoulder to carry with. It is suggested to use a nylon lightweight bag for playing casual round. You could be much freer up in the long walk without adding extra weight. Besides, you could go anywhere on the course without the trolley and will not cause the slow play problem which is commonly seen in the fairway.


Golf Shoes

Traditional golf teaching tool indicates that a good swing starts from the feet up and therefore, it is very important to have a pair of good golf shoes. Besides, you have to walk a long distance up and down the hill, and sometimes you may also encounter a heavy rain during playing. A spiked golf shoes with water-repellant treated leader give you a firm and safe footing plus keeping your feet stay dry even in adverse rainy situation.


Golf Glove

Usually a single piece of glove is worn in the weaker hand to strengthen the grip. For instance, a right hand people will usually wear a left-hand glove. Ladies could wear the gloves in both hands to strengthen the grip and increase the strength. Therefore, you could choose to buy a single piece or in pair depending on your needs. Besides, it is suggested to buy those which could suit for both rainy and shiny days to have better flexibility in usage.


Golf Balls

For beginner or high handicap level, it is suggested to use the 4cm diameter and dimpled golf balls. Pond balls are of great value of money and it is not necessary to use those very high technology designed golf balls until you are in the very professional level. If you could play well and really want to choose, a medium price two-piece Surlyn-covered ball is recommended.
