How to Replace Golf Clubs Gradually

When beginning the game of golf, people often use whatever clubs are available. Sometimes the clubs are good. Often, they are real clunkers. Replacing a set of clunkers is easy if money is not a problem. If money is a consideration, then replacement must be done piecemeal. Some simple rules make that process less haphazard and much more enjoyable.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Replace clubs in groups, irons, wedges, fairway clubs (hybrids and fairway woods), driver and putter.

2. Check at golf courses for when they are going to have "demo days." These are days when representatives of golf club manufacturing companies bring clubs to the course to be tried out by players.

3. Know what style clubs appeal to you, what clubs feel "right."

4. Spend the time and money for a fitting session by a Professional Golfers of America (PGA) golf pro. He or she will suggest type of shaft, loft and lie for your clubs and whether you should use hybrids or long irons.

5. Decide on what clubs should make up your new set based upon your fitting, sessions and golf demo days.

6. Go about replacing your clubs according to which of your present clubs most need replacing.

7. Check online sources of used clubs. With the huge numbers of clubs available, you should be able to buy the exact driver, putter, set of irons, series of wedges,and hybrids/fairway woods you need.

Tips & Warnings

• Replacing clubs in groups is important because the groups of clubs should match each other in swing weight and design. Otherwise, a slightly different swing must be executed for every single club.
• The group of clubs that absolutely must be matched is irons. These clubs are "spaced" to give a player the ability hit shots of a certain distance.
