Purchasing the most expensive golf clubs you can find doesn't mean you'll see an improvement in your golf game or your level of enjoyment. You need to pick clubs that feel good to you and have the right amount of flexibility in the shaft for your swing strength.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Tips & Warnings
  • When you purchase a half set of novice clubs, buy a set from a recognized manufacturer so you can add to it as your golfing skills improve and you're ready to advance to more clubs.
