Collection: Golf

Golf gear ranges from golf clubs and bags to trolleys, practice nets and training aids for working on your game at home. Beginners generally do better with a smaller set of forgiving clubs than a full set of demanding ones. Practice gear lets you work on swing and putting between rounds. Think about your level, whether you walk or ride, and what part of your game you want to work on.

What clubs does a beginner need?

A full set of fourteen clubs is more than most beginners need or can use effectively. A starter set typically includes a driver, a fairway wood or hybrid, a few irons, a wedge and a putter, which covers every situation on a course while keeping choices simple. Hybrids are easier to hit than long irons, which is why they suit beginners and higher handicaps. Club fitting matters too, since shaft length and flex affect your swing. As your game develops you can fill in the gaps rather than starting with clubs you can't yet use.

What golf accessories are worth having?

A few items make rounds and practice easier:

• Golf bag: carry bags are light for walking; cart bags are larger and designed to strap to a trolley or buggy.
• Golf trolley or golf buggy: saves carrying the bag over a full round, as push, pull or electric.
• Golf practice net: lets you hit full shots at home into a net rather than driving to a range.
• Putting mat: practises the stroke and pace indoors, where a large share of scoring happens.

How do you practise golf at home?

Home practice works best when it targets the parts of the game that decide your score, and putting is the obvious one since it makes up a large portion of strokes in a round. A putting mat lets you groove the stroke and read pace indoors in a small space. For full swings, a practice net with a mat catches shots safely, but set it up with plenty of clearance and check the net is rated for the club speeds you generate. Never hit balls without a proper net or into a garage without protection. Chipping into a target net covers the short game.

Common questions

How many clubs does a beginner need?
Fewer than a full set — a driver, a fairway wood or hybrid, a few irons, a wedge and a putter covers every situation while keeping choices simple as you learn.

What is a hybrid club?
A club combining features of a wood and an iron, easier to hit than a long iron because of its more forgiving head shape. It suits beginners and higher handicaps.

Carry bag or cart bag?
A carry bag is light with straps for walking the course; a cart bag is larger with more storage, designed to strap onto a trolley or buggy. Choose by whether you walk or ride.

Can I practise golf at home?
Yes — a putting mat works indoors in a small space, and a practice net lets you hit full shots. Set nets up with plenty of clearance and check they're rated for your club speeds.
