When first playing the game of golf one needs to understand what golf equipment should be purchased. The clubs are divided into three groups. There are woods, irons and putters. Each one of these clubs has a different purpose and to play the game well a golfer needs to know which pieces should be used to make which types of shots. So, before playing the first time it is wise to read up on the uses of the individual types of gold clubs.

The woods actually originally had wooden heads which is where the name came from. These are used when the player is trying to make the ball go very far. A wood will be used to make the first shot off the golf tee. The way this golf club is different is because of the way the head is angled. The irons were named because these had heads made of metal. They are used more in the middle when the player is trying to get closer to the hole. Putters are used specifically for short distance shots. This is because they are better at making shots that require more accuracy. You will see these clubs used on the putting green when a player is trying to sink the ball into the hole.

Most golfers choose their gear based on a recommended set of no more than fourteen clubs. It is common for there to be a putter, two wedges, three woods and a group of irons. The irons will have different numbers which denotes what they are best for. The angle of the heads is what makes them different.

The golf clubs are not all that a player needs to enjoy this sport. They must also have tees to place their balls on, a good golf bag to hold everything and the right balls to hit along the course. Many golfers will suggest to new players that before buying a set it may be wise to rent golf gear to have the opportunity to experience the different styles, weights and grips that are available. Golf equipment can be very expensive and you want to be certain to buy the right items the first time.
