Golf for Beginners: Must-Have Equipment

Investing in the right equipment ensures a smooth start. Below is a breakdown of the basic gear you need:

  • Clubs: Beginner sets often include a driver, a putter, and a selection of irons (like a 7-iron) to cover short, mid-range, and long shots
  • Golf balls: Beginners should stick with affordable balls, as losing some along the way is normal
  • Golf bag: A lightweight bag with a built-in stand allows for easy carrying
  • Clothing and shoes: Wear collared shirts, golf pants, or shorts (avoid denim), and wear soft-spike golf shoes for better traction
  • Accessories: Essential items include tees, a glove for grip, and a divot repair tool for course etiquette

Knowing what to bring helps you feel confident and prepared when stepping onto the course for the first time.
