Frequently Asked Questions

What golf clubs do I need as a beginner?

You don’t need every club available. A beginner-friendly set with a driver, a few irons, a hybrid or fairway wood, a wedge and a putter is usually enough to learn and play your first rounds.

Should I buy a complete golf set or individual clubs?

For most beginners, a complete starter set can be a simpler option because it gives you the main clubs you need in one package. Individual clubs can be added later as your game develops.

What golf shoes are best for beginners?

Look for comfortable shoes with good grip, a stable fit and enough support for walking the course. Waterproof options can also be useful for typical UK conditions.

How do I choose the right golf balls?

Beginners can look for balls designed to provide good distance, durability and a softer feel. You don’t necessarily need the most expensive ball when you’re starting out.

Do I really need a golf glove?

A glove can improve your grip and help prevent your hands from becoming uncomfortable during practice. Most golfers wear a glove on their non-dominant hand.

What type of golf bag should I choose?

Think about how you plan to play. A lightweight stand bag is useful if you expect to carry your clubs, while a larger cart bag may suit golfers who usually use a trolley or golf cart.

How much should I spend on my first golf set?

There’s no need to buy the most expensive equipment when starting out. Set a budget based on how often you expect to play and look for reliable beginner-friendly equipment within it.

What golf gear can I buy later?

You can keep your initial setup simple. Items such as specialist wedges, extra woods, advanced training aids and high-end accessories can usually wait until you understand your playing style and needs better.
