The first thing the average beginning golfer does is go on an unnecessary spending spree. It is essential to have certain pieces of equipment so you can get your game off on the right foot. Not every product that gets advertised on television or on golf shows will help improve your golf game, though. Most of these products will only hurt your wallet, not help your game. Save the advanced gadgets for later, and focus on a few key pieces of golf equipment when you first start playing.

A good pair of golf shoes is the first thing you'll need. You'll be spending a lot of time on your feet as you play a game of golf so make sure the shoes you purchase fit your feet and are comfortable to wear. Your first few games may be uncomfortable as you break in your shoes but you can minimize this by wearing them off the course or to the driving range first. Your spikes will need to be appropriate for the courses that you'll play most often. As an example, most courses in the U.S. require soft spike shoes. Paradoxically, a golf umbrella is actually a crucial piece of golf equipment.

A good quality putter should be your next investment. Many people spend all their time and attention focused on drivers and woods hoping to get extra distance. But if you focus more on your short game, the strokes that take place on or near the green, you will really be able to take your game to the next level. Try a few putters out in the store, most golf stores have a small "green" area where you can check them out to get a feel for the putter to see which loft, shaft length, and grip you prefer best, and then compare prices online to get the best deal.

Golf club head covers are also important to buy. When you take the time to assemble a good set of golf clubs, they are an investment. It can easily cost a few hundred dollars for even a beginners set of clubs. To lengthen the life and usefulness of your clubs, you need to protect them by getting quality head covers that will protect them from banging together in your car or during the drive to and from the golf course.

There are all kinds of covers available from the utilitarian to the whimsical so have fun with this purchase and let it say something about your own personal style. These items are essential to a good game of golf. When you're just getting started with your golf journey, you need all the help you can get. These inexpensive items will greatly impact the quality of your game and your enjoyment of it. By investing in smaller pieces of necessary equipment first, you can save your money for the larger investments that you will need later.
