Choosing the right golf equipment is very important and it is not just about how much you spend on it that counts. There is a huge array of golf equipment available to day, both on- and offline so it can be quite confusing when you are just starting out.
The first golf equipment to consider is what type of clubs you should get. These have to be suitable for your height, weight and the type of game you play. Most people use standard length clubs which are fine for men between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 10 inches in height and for women between five feet and five feet 5 inches. If you are outside these ranges though you may need to get special custom made ones.
The clubs must also have the correct thickness of grip. When holding the club, the fingers of your left hand should just touch the pad of your left thumb and not dig in to it, although tape wrapped around the grip can help if you need to make a minor adjustment.
When it comes to putters you will probably want to opt for a centre shaft or heel-to-toe weighted putter as these types have a larger sweet spot than the mallet putters or the old blade ones.
Clothing should be smart but comfortable enabling you to swing the club freely. Generally, trainers, jeans, short shorts and collarless or sleeveless shirts are frowned upon but dress code varies from club to club. As you will be out on the course for several hours it is a good idea to be prepared for any sudden changes in the weather. Depending on where in the world you are playing, it is probably advisable to carry waterproofs in your bag. Hats, caps and sunglasses are other things you should consider too.
A good pair of shoes is also an essential piece of golf euipment. Most players opt for a leather shoe, which allows the foot to breath, combined with a rubber sole containing either spikes or pimples.
When it comes to your hands most players wear a left hand glove to maintain a constant grip. These gloves can be either leather or synthetic and should fit tighter than a normal glove. Another useful piece of golf equipment if you are playing in cold weather it is a good idea to use a large pair of mittens that you can slip on between shots as it is very difficult to grip the club properly if your hands get too cold.
Finally, you will need something to carry all this new golf equipment in. Golf Bags come in a huge array of shapes and sizes from drainpipe bags that only carry 6 or 7 clubs, which are good for when you are practising, to an all in one bag/trolley which can be useful when travelling. If you are going to be carrying your bag then make sure it is not to heavy and that it has a strong strap.
Now you have all the essential Golf equipment you need so all you need to do now is get out there and start playing. Good luck!

If you want to combine amazing prices with an incredible golf hotel, Spain is where you need to go. The service is at European levels, the grounds are incredible, the golf is even better and the prices are affordable.
In Costa del Sol in Spain, you’ll find the Valderrama Golf Club in Sotogrande, a 6,857-yard, Robert Trent Jones designed golf course that annually hosts the Volvo Masters and has been described as the most visually striking course in continental Europe.
But that’s not the only hot course in the region or the country. Costa del Sol is home to 36 courses alone and Spain itself offers hundreds of both public and private courses for you to enjoy. To find out more about the region and the best courses, keep reading.
The Andalusia Region
Costa del Sol is located in Andalusia and it’s only a 50 minute flight from Madrid. Along this incredible coastline, there are piles of amazing courses. Aside from the golf though, you can enjoy beautiful Spanish towns, hike nearby hills or simply lie by the beach and relax.
Recommended Golf Courses
Valderrama isn’t just a difficult course – it’s also hard to obtain a tee time unless you have a lot of advance notice. If you can’t get into Valderamma, you may want to try one of the following other courses or resorts. The Golf Club Marbella was also designed by Robert Trent Jones and is located close by. The Real Club de Golf Las Brisas is historic and gorgeous. The Golf Torrequebrada is tortuous and a course for the truly adventurous.
Other Things to Do
Along the fabled coastline, now bursting with hotels, marinas and casinos, there are also many small harbors where boats can be chartered for fishing expeditions and water skiing. Yet if visitors have already found enough water on golf courses, they should consider other diversions, such as excursions to Grenada, Seville and small whitewashed towns in the Sierra Nevadas first settled by the Phoenicians and Romans centuries ago.
But no matter what your pleasure, whether it’s golf, a cultural adventure, or even a short ferry ride to Morocco from the port town of Algeciras – at day’s end, eat and drink heartily, because on the Costa del Sol, particularly at its many beachside restaurants, the no-frills cooking is pescadito sardines and small squid or calamaritos, usually roasted on spits and, best of all, served with famous sweet Malaga wines.
Places to Stay
If you need a golf hotel, Spain has a number of great resorts in the Andalusia region. When your taste is old-school style and luxury, then try the Marbella Club Hotel. On the other hand, if you want something a little more modern and budget-friendly, try the Atalaya Park Golf Hotel and Resort. Finally, for the best in five-star golf, stay at the Fairplay Golf Hotel and Spa.
Spain is such a beautiful location for a vacation anyway. But when you combine such a trip with the thrill of a superb golf course, that is a very tough combination to beat.

How To Choose Golf Clubs
One of the most confusing things about getting started in golf, is not knowing how to choose golf clubs that are most suitable for your game. Even for people who have been playing golf for a while it can be difficult to know what to look for.
In this article I’m going to run you through the steps you should go through when you are choosing what golf clubs you will buy. By using this organized approach you will be able to choose golf clubs that will be good for your game…and hopefully good for your bank account.
Know What You Need
Too many people buy Golf Clubs for the wrong reason. Then what ends up happening is the club doesn’t suit their swing, they have to sell it, losing a little bit of money, and they have to look for something else.
You should always match a club to your swing – never the other way around. Think about your game and where your weaknesses are. Talk to your pro and see what they think. Hit some balls with the pro watching and get their opinion. Use a launch monitor to get some numbers.
All this information can then be used by an experienced professional – either a club maker/fitter or golf pro – to match you up with the most suitable equipment.
Trial & Error
Once you know what you need, make up a shortlist of equipment that meets these requirements and give them a try. Before you choose a golf club you should always try to get it in your hands and hit balls with it, even if you are going to buy it online.
See if your golf club has some demo stock in the pro shop you can use. Or visit one of the big retail outlets with indoor facilities you can use to trial the club. By doing this you will cut down the money you waste on the wrong products
Price Research
Narrow your shortlist down to one or two finalists, and do your price research. Check all sources, both off and online. Get a good idea of what the price range for the product is.
One thing I would always do is take the best price you can find on the internet, and see if your local retailer can match it. All things being equal buying from a retailer is better – it makes after sales service much easier if there are ever any problems.
If you can wait, look to hold off until the end of the season when prices will take a fall. Or check for new models that may soon be replacing the one you are interested in – your product may be in line for a clearance price cut in the not too distant future.
With money tightening up the way it is, following the above approach will give you a good approach to finding the right club for your game, and hopefully save you some money in the process as well.
