What golf club length is normal for a five foot tall person?

Question

for someone just starting out in golf, is there a certain length club that should be used? I am right handed and five feet tall.

Answer 1

Your height and the distance in inches from your wrist to the floor are used together to determine the length of golf club that is appropriate for you. The starting point for club length can vary up to 3 1/2" ranging from ladies to mens plus 1 1/2". A tall person with long arms can very easily require shorter clubs than an average height person with short arms. About 80% of golfers are Standard length.

Your best option is to go to a store like Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith and get fitted.
