Golfing Moy Valley

Over the last one hundred years or so, a golf set  has consisted of the same clubs. A standard set included a 1,3 and 5 wood and a 2-9 iron plus a pitching wedge and sand wedge. As you can imagine this configuration isn’t suitable for everyone as people play the game at different levels of ability. So with this in mind, what’s the ideal set of golf clubs for a beginner?

In general the majority of beginners have real problems making contact with the ball. They either top the ball, so that it scuffs along the ground, or worse still, don’t make contact with the ball at all and end up taking a big chunk of the fairway as a memento. To counteract this, why not choose a club with a large or oversized club head. This will make it much easier to make contact with the ball.

If you are having problems with your swing, then an offset club head will counteract your swing so that the head of the club connects sweetly with the ball. An offset club head will appear much more square with the target and not quite so open. Also a club head with weights that are adjustable can make for a club that is adaptable to your particular swing style.

Finally, the biggest problem for beginners is getting the ball in the air. You can buy woods and clubs with a higher loft and lower centre of gravity. This means that it will make it easier for you to lift the ball into the air and to make it travel further.

There are some good companies out there who make golf clubs for beginners so if you are serious about the game, it may pay you to check them out.
