The most common golf ball onrepparttar 133300 course isrepparttar 133301 two-piece golf ball. This ball is used by 49% of players.

Golf - how to get started?

Written by Frank Peter


Golf anybody? By Frank J. Peter, editor at LearnAboutGolf.com Golf is a great game: sometimes rewarding, often frustrating but highly addictive. Getting started in it is actually not so difficult, and hopefully this article can help you avoid some ofrepparttar common pitfalls. The very first steps. The biggest mistake by people wanting to start in golf is to rush out and buy a brand new set of shiny and expensive golf clubs. While they are nice to look at you should keep in mind that today’s golf equipment comes in great varieties to cater for different golfing types and abilities. Since you're just starting out you do not know which set fits you best. Just imaginerepparttar 133296 envious looks you get atrepparttar 133297 driving range when you come with your $2000 set, andrepparttar 133298 subsequent laughter when you try and just 'hack away' - not worthrepparttar 133299 embarrassment! Once you spend a few hundred or even thousand $$ on a set that doesn't suit your style you're stuck with it or you have to sell it to somebody else at a loss. If you feel you want your own clubs get a half set. This generally comprises five irons and perhaps two woods and a putter. Usuallyrepparttar 133300 irons arerepparttar 133301 odd numbers 3,5,7,9 and wedge. These clubs are more than enough to get you started. A better alternatively: most Driving Ranges will have clubs for hire, so you can try out a few different ones. You can also borrow one or two clubs from a friend. The shortest iron (nine iron) or a wedge arerepparttar 133302 best clubs to start, practicing with it will give yourepparttar 133303 feeling of hittingrepparttar 133304 ball inrepparttar 133305 air and should be fairly straight forward. Where to get golf clubs? Most Pro shops and driving ranges sell second hand clubs. They will also be able to offer you advice and let you try some clubs out. Alternatively, nearly all driving ranges will have clubs for hire if you want to have a go without committing to a set until you getrepparttar 133306 hang of it. Or ask other people atrepparttar 133307 driving range, you will soon find out that many have another set of clubs at home because they maderepparttar 133308 exact same mistakes I mentioned above. Make sure you try before you buy, if they fit (and only if they fit!) you can often get them for a steal. Make use of these opportunities, and also take a look at our website ‘LearnAboutGolf.com’ as to how to choose a club. I again stress that you need to have a basic understanding on which club suits you reasonably well before you buy. DO NOT buy expensive brands at this stage. "I want to play, I want to play!" As hard as it will be to contain yourself, don't even contemplate going anywhere near a golf course. Golf is technically quite demanding, and without at least some basic training you'll end up with a lot of frustration. You've seenrepparttar 133309 top players on TV loosing their cool in frustration, imagine how you will feel if not even a single shot goes where you want it to. Besides,repparttar 133310 other people having to wait for you will also not be happy.
