    What Golf Clubs Do Beginners Need?

    Many people, when they first begin playing golf, feel overwhelmed by the number of clubs and choices they have. A person could go broke just filling their golf bag with all the clubs people tell you you need. Not to mention, mental confusion trying to decide what club to play. Way too many choices.

    But what clubs do you really need as a beginner to play a round of golf? There are people who play with a Hybrid, a 5 iron, a Sand Wedge and a putter. Less to think about. Sort of the less is more philosophy. And while this is pretty minimalistic, it would work.

    In fact, it might be better for a person starting out to carry only these four clubs in the beginning so they could first get a feel for the game and only then begin adding clubs as they need them. Adding clubs one at a time would lesson the trauma to your wallet, and minimize the confusion as to what club is best for what situation.

    But most golfers are not going to want to do that. So a good starting place for any new golfer would be a good 5 wood, a 3 hybrid, 5, 7, and 9 iron, either an approach wedge (AW) or a pitch wedge (PW), a sand wedge (SW) and a good putter. Depending on your skill level, you might want to add a 3 wood.

    The ideal set for the intermediate golfer would start with Game Improvement irons. You still need forgiveness but you also like control. For your distance clubs add a little less loft on those fairway woods and hybrids to maximize distance.

    You have your most pressure at the tee and on the green. That's why they say "drive for show, putt for dough." So you want to be able to be at your best at both ends of the hole - which is why most golfers have several drivers and putters.
