How to Buy your first set of Golf Clubs

Getting started in the sport of golf can be extremely fun, or extremely frustrating. Since no one wants to do anything frustrating, here's how to get started the right way!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• About $400

1. Golf clubs are more or less divided into 3 groups: Low grade, Mid grade, and High grade.
2. Low grade clubs are what you find at department stores for around 99 bucks a set. These are a little too cheap and can be prone to breaking.
3. Mid grade clubs are off brand or "house" brand sets, or cheaper sets by some of the major brands you will find at golf stores for around 300 - 400 dollars. These are great for a first set of clubs. They have everything you need to get started, at a reasonable price, and are good quality. Examples in this range would be the Precise G6 460 set, or the Adams Tight Lies set.
4. High grade clubs are generally bought individual or in smaller sets, like a set of irons. Putting a while set together can cost anywhere from $1200 on up to a whole lot. These aren't so good for a first set because they are expensive, and it's hard to know what to buy. Also if you decide the game isn't for you, you're out a lot of money.

Tips & Warnings

• After you buy your first set of clubs it's a good idea to get some lessons to make sure you're on the right track.
