I am new to golf. What equipment do i need to buy and how much?

Question

what type of clubs do i need

Answer 1

I HIGHLY recommend going to ebay and buying a set of the callaway replicas. You can get them for under $150 and they really do play comparable to the high dollar clubs.

Answer 3

Golf clubs have two major features that directly influence how far and how high the ball will go when hit correctly with each club. What you are looking at in the illustration is a full set of golf clubs, including the woods and the irons. Beginning on the left are the wood clubs (larger heads) numbered from 1 wood, 3 wood, 5 wood and 7 wood. Progressing the irons (smaller heads), starting from the left, are the 3 iron, 4 iron, 5 iron, 6 iron, 7 iron, 8 iron, 9 iron, 10 iron, and 11 iron (also known as the sand wedge). Note that there is a difference in length of one-half inch between each club in the set.

To start off with, get a set of irons and a putter. Remember to demo the irons before you purchase a set and pick which ones feels best for you. If you have the cash, get fitted for your irons. The shaft type, lie angle, and length are all personal and indivudial measurements that are needed to be taken so you can get a set that fits you perfectly. Typical sets consist of a 3 iron to pitch wedge with a sand wedge also. So you're getting 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,pitch,sand. Typical beginner sets range from $200 to $500. I'm a huge advicate of getting used clubs, because you can get quality clubs for half the price. So go used if you don't want to shell out the big bucks for new clubs. If you buy used from the manufactuer, you hav the option of getting them refinished, so they look and play brand new. The cost of refinishing clubs varies.

Woods and a driver would come next, again, you need the specs of the club to match your swing. So get fitted. They range anywhere from $100 to $400 new. Again, go used if you don't want to spend the money.

Putters vary in length and shape. Try a bunch and see which one you like the best.
