It is quite easy to go overboard when Buying Golf Equipment. There seem to be as many gadgets and goodies as there are golf clubs in stores these days, and the array of equipment can be confusing - and tempting - especially for a beginner. There are two good reasons not to rush out with an open wallet. The first reason is that a beginner does not need to latest and greatest in the golf world. Another is that you don't need to waste money if you don't know for sure you are going to stick with it. Buy only the basics that you need, not all the cool stuff you want.

You really only need the basic golf clubs, being the drivers, wedgers, putters, and irons. Make sure you know which club is which and what they are used for. A good golf instruction book or DVD will help you work out which club is used where, and the assistant at your local golfing store will be able to help you choose a good set of clubs that are right for your body type, stance and swing. Consider borrowing clubs until you are sure you're into it. Many golf shops offer hand me down golf sets, which are fantastic for beginners. Start with a basic set, and upgrade as you get better. You will also need to make sure your budget can handle it. You should also consider a bag for your clubs. Consider whether you want a bag with a trolley - you may not always hire a cart or get a caddy, and lugging a golf bag around all day can put you off the game for life! Often you will find special offers at the golf stores, with a basic set of golf clubs and a nice bag for the same price as you can pay for only one of the top-of-the-range clubs.

You will need good shoes, with or without cleats. Some courses will not allow cleats. Make sure you're comfortable, because you'll be walking in these shoes for miles. Most golf courses have dress codes. First consider how much course time you plan to spend. You may just need one golf outfit to begin.

A new rule book is a must because all of golf's rules will confuse a novice. Learning the rules and etiquette of the game is vital, so consider getting a book on these too.

You will of course need golf balls. Again, a beginner should not buy the most expensive golf balls you can find. You would rather lose cheap balls than pricey ones, and you will lose a lot in the first few months. You also should invest in tees, towels, a pencil, and a green marker.

Any other gadgets aren't necessary. Very few golf "gadgets" are necessary to play.
