Beginner Golf Clubs

I was in my late twenties when I first started hitting golf balls. This was the days of the Persimmons Drivers and Woods. I still have that first set! Note I said hitting golf balls. That is because I did not start "playing" golf until I could hit the golf balls to the same destination consistently.

I remember it like it was yesterday. There was a school located behind our house. Next to the school was a very large field. I would take a couple dozen golf balls and my Beginner Golf Club Set to the field and I would hit the balls in one direction, then I would try to find all the balls and hit them back to where I started. I did this several times a week for about two months.

Then, and only then, did I feel I was at the point that I would be able to try to conquer the Golf Course. So, oh my gosh, my first trip to a real Golf Course. I took my Beginner Golf Clubs and I met up with some buddies from work. I had my Golf Shoes, my Golf Tees, my Golf Shirt, and my Beginner Set of Golf Clubs. I Was Ready!

If you have already played Golf on a real Golf Course then you know about the "first tee jitters". My first time on the first tee, these were more than jitters. I was downright scared! I let the others tee off before I did so I could see what level of competition I was facing. And also to try to gain my composure. My brothers and sisters, I am not afraid of many things. But that day I could feel myself shaking.

My first tee shot on a real Golf Course was a terrific shot! I hit that ball straight down the fairway and outdrove two of the other three players! That my friends was when I decided I have to get good at this game.

I played every weekend for the next two years. I broke a hundred after playing for three months. I broke ninety in another four months. I was going to go pro! Yeah right...

I used that first set of Beginner Golf Clubs for the first year I played. I started buying new Golf Clubs a little at a time. First, a new Titanium Driver. They were just recently introduced so they were still a little pricey. Next, my own new Putter. Then, my Irons. It took a few paychecks and a little time but I was finally playing with Golf Clubs that were as good as my Golfing Buddies' Clubs. You know, that whole keeping up with the Jones' thing.

I do not remember if they were even available then, but nowadays you can buy a Beginners Golf Club Set with a selection of Golf Clubs to get you started. You can get the Bag, the Titanium Driver, select Golf Irons, select Hybrid Irons, some sets include a Wood, or Woods, and you get a Putter. All this plus Headcovers for the Clubs and a Raincover for the Bag.

You do not have to spend your hard earned money for a complete set of clubs until you decide you are going to continue playing the Game of Golf. You can Buy a Beginner Set of Golf Clubs with a selection of key Golf Clubs to use until you have a consistent swing and you find your distances. Until then all those other clubs are just for show. Good luck and always remember, "even a bad day on the golf course beats a good day at work!"
