Finding the right golf equipment for beginners - it's that easy!

What would a golfer be without the right equipment? Pretty much the same as a summer without sun. The range of high-quality golf equipment is anything but standard, but really diverse. There is something for golfers of all levels. However, it is often not just the right golf equipment that paves the way for the first steps in golf, but also the joy of playing. This is the only way to exploit your own potential and achieve rapid success on the golf course.

Which golf clubs do beginners need?

As every year, there are lots of new golf clubs on the market. All of them are supposed to be better than their predecessors - sounds logical. To help golf beginners keep track, we present drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and putters that will help newcomers to the game. When choosing a driver, it is important that these clubs suit the game. This means that they should be optimally adapted to your body size and fit perfectly in your hand. Therefore, when buying golf clubs, it is important not to buy a club that has not first been swung on the driving range. Those who are looking for a driver should make sure that the golf ball flies long and as straight as possible and is extremely forgiving. And this applies not only to beginners, but to every ambitious golfer.

In the long term, golf beginners also need fairway woods that are easy to play. Beginners should ask themselves whether the new club is to be used for tee shots, whether long distances are to be covered from the fairway or whether the fairway wood is to replace a long iron in the golf bag. In short: Before buying golf clubs, golf beginners should be clear about what the fairway wood will be used for. This is because there is a huge selection of fairway woods in terms of different plumb bobs and hosel settings. We are happy to help you find the right golf club.

How about a hybrid for beginners? This is a mixture of an iron and a fairway wood. Hybrid clubs represent a sensible compromise between the length of a wood and the precision of an iron. What's more, this golf club is much easier to play, which is a clear advantage for beginners in particular.

Probably the most important club in the bag is the right putter for beginners - it makes the difference between success and defeat on the green. To save strokes, golf beginners should make sure that the putter is well balanced and creates a good feel at impact.

Complete sets for newcomers to golf

Golf beginners have an easy and inexpensive start to the game of golf with a complete set. Just like any other club, the golf clubs in a complete set are based on the latest technologies. This makes it easy for golf beginners to acquire the correct technique right from the start. At Golf House, beginners will find a set of first-class clubs that are specially designed for beginners. So why not treat yourself to a flying start to golf - without breaking the bank. In short: don't make it any harder than it is. And the good thing is that additional golf clubs can be purchased or exchanged later.

Which golf balls are suitable for beginners?

Of course, every suitable golf club also needs the right golf ball for beginners. But which ball is best for beginners? The easiest way is to try out different balls and see if you notice any difference in your swing. Otherwise, you can also ask our experts at Golf House what he or she recommends in terms of how you should hit or play. You can choose from two-, three-, four- and sometimes even five-piece golf balls consisting of new materials and material combinations as well as different dimple patterns. Here too, the motto is: the golf ball must suit the player's needs. At this point, however, it should be mentioned that multi-piece balls are often more expensive than one-piece balls. Accordingly, golf beginners should first play with one-piece golf balls for training, in case one or the other ball does not reappear. The exact model is not quite so important. It is important to always play the same model if possible so that a reproducible result can be achieved. Alternatively, there are also lake balls, i.e. used golf balls that have been completely retreaded but still have the same playing characteristics.

Which golf bag is right for beginners?

As with any sport, it's all about wonderful experiences and the joy of playing. But the right golf equipment is also important for a successful game of golf. After all, every player wants to make more birdies, hit longer drives and improve their technique. No matter which path you take, with the right clubs in your golf bag, the right golf ball on the tee and comfortable shoes on your feet, you should be given the opportunity to grow and develop quickly on the golf course. However, to be able to play in all weathers, you need a practical bag in which your golf equipment can be transported in a way that saves energy and protects your equipment. And since you will be spending a lot of time with your bag over several years, you should expect more from a golf bag than just a pretty appearance. Golf House offers a wide range of bags, from lightweight carry bags to spacious cart bags with enough space for drinks and additional clothing. It is important that beginners pay attention to carrying comfort, weight and quality.

What should beginners look out for when buying golf shoes?

For some golfers, comfort is the most important factor. Others want a lightweight golf shoe and still others want a shoe that can be worn in wind and weather. And then there are the players who are looking for a shoe that offers everything in one. By the way: nowadays you rarely see the old golf shoes with steel spikes on tour. But even there, these shoes are being replaced by soft spikes made of plastic. As with any other shoe, it is crucial that the golf shoe fits well and can be worn for several hours without any problems. And at Golf House you are on the safe side with the fit guarantee! If you find that the golf shoe you have chosen is not the right one after all, you can exchange it for a new pair within 6 weeks.

What is the right golf clothing for beginners?

Today, modern golf clothing is far more sophisticated and ingenious than conventional clothing. Most golf clothing is manufactured almost exclusively with functional properties in mind. State-of-the-art functional materials offer the advantage that they allow perspiration to pass through and dry quickly. At the same time, they feel soft and comfortable against the skin. And they keep their shape for a long time. But that doesn't mean that players have to do without modern colors, patterns and cuts. See our large selection of golf clothing for yourself. Our range extends from polo shirts and golf pants to skorts, golf dresses, sweatshirts and jackets.

Which golf gloves are suitable for beginners?

As with shoes and golf clothing, there are also golf gloves that are suitable for different playing situations and weather conditions. For example, there are gloves made from soft cabretta leather with fantastic sensitivity and gloves for rainy days with the best possible grip in wind and weather. All-weather gloves are designed for those who want to be optimally prepared for all eventualities. As the name suggests, they work in wet and dry conditions. Onesize golf gloves offer security in terms of fit! They adapt to any hand size and are just right for a beginner golfer!
