the absolute must-haves of golf equipment
These are the definite essentials you will need to start you golfing journey:
- Golf Clubs
- Golf Shoes
- Correct Clothing (collared shirts & smart trousers, no denim)
If you don’t have golf clubs, you aren’t going to go far! Finding the right ones can be a bit tricky, so visiting a Pro Shop where they can help you find the right size, style and fit for your needs is key.
Golf shoes are also essential, as walking through the perfectly manicured greens, rougher woodland and sand banks when you lose sight of your ball, all while anchoring you to the ground during your swing. The perfect golf shoes can do all this with ease, again make sure to visit a Pro Shop for the right fit and style you need, and you will be the Cinderella of the golfing world!
The correct clothing for golfing is definitely essential, no denim allowed (that means no jeans) and you must wear collared shirts. This means you’ll be looking smart during your round of golf and when enjoying a drink at the clubhouse after.
