You might enter a golf shop and you might get confused with all the irons, woods, putters and wedges that you encounter along with the golf balls, clothing and other golf clubs accessories. If you are just starting to play golf, the job of picking golf clubs etc that would work for you, might be a very difficult.
First, you would need to know what a set of clubs consists of. There are four main types of golf clubs: the Woods, the Irons, the Wedges and the Putter. Today, you might actually see hybrid clubs. A hybrid club is a cross of a wood and an iron. People who find it difficult to hitting their long irons, like a 2 or 3 iron, sometimes prefer to use these clubs. In competition golf you are allowed upto 14 clubs in your bag in any grouping. An example of a good combination for your golf clubs would be one driver, one 4 wood, 3 through 9 iron, a lob wedge, a gap wedge, a sand wedge, a pitching wedge and one putter. However, the combination would entirely be up to you or the golfer as different combinations work for other people.
You will then need to know the other options available to you as you buy your golf clubs. You could buy brand new or second hand. Although you would definitely save more if you choose to buy used golf clubs, you might find some problems such as cracked shafts, worn grips and other problems that a new set of golf clubs would definitely not have. If you are buying your first set of clubs, it usually makes a lot of sense to buy new clubs.
After deciding on buying a new or old set, you then have to decide if you want to buy a complete set or buy individual clubs to create a custom set of your own. Putting together your own set would be a bit more expensive compared to just buying a set of clubs that is already complete. Buying a complete set also save you time and money.
If you are a beginner, it is recommended to purchase a complete beginner set, which includes one driver, a 3 wood, a 5 wood, the 3 through 9 irons, one pitching wedge and your putter. This could also include one sand wedge and a bag for your golf clubs. As this set will only have 11 or 12 clubs, as you game gets better you may decide to add to your set with individual purchases. You could eventually add a 2 iron, another wedge or a hybrid club.
