Step 1
Ask a golf professional at your local club or local golf retailer to measure your swing. The speed of your swing determines the appropriate flex for your club shaft, which can improve your comfort and distance.
-
Step 2
Rent clubs when you go golfing, choosing different styles each time you play so you get a feel for several different types and sizes before you make a purchase.
-
Step 3
Ask friends and family members who golf to let you try out their clubs. Question them about why they chose the clubs they have and what they like and dislike. They may be able to guide you to a club, or help you avoid making their mistakes.
-
Step 4
Purchase only a novice half set of golf clubs to start. The half set includes all the clubs you need to play the game, without all the extras. Many beginners find that using a half set makes it easier for them to select the best club.
