Many people think that purchasing as set of golf clubs is as easy as walking into a golf store and buying them. This is far from the truth as there many factors which must be considered when purchasing a new set of golf clubs. You will find that there is a wide range of brands and styles of golf clubs available, all of which cater to ones style of play and skill level.

Your first step in purchasing a set of golf clubs is to recognize your skill level. Just because a set of golf clubs are more expensive does not mean that you will be able to hit them long and straight down the fairway. There are many different styles of golf clubs. A beginner would be better off with an oversized set of irons while a veteran golfer may want a small set of blade irons. A beginner or high handicap golfer will find it very hard to hit a set of blade irons as the heads are very small and do not have a large sweet spot.

Once you recognize your skill level the first place to go to look for golf clubs is the internet. There are many golf club review sites online that can help you find a perfect match for your golf game. You can find golf club review websites where golfers just like you leave their comments about particular brands and styles of clubs. For example, I purchased a set of Taylor Made Oversized Irons last year. Before I purchased them I read a dozen review websites to see if they were a good fit for a high handicap golfer like me. I found that many golfers liked their forgiveness, large sweet spot and quality of workmanship. In short, they were rated very high amongst high handicap golfers and beginners. I knew that they were the clubs I was interested in.

My next step was to visit a golf store. Not just any golf store but one with driving net so I could test the clubs out to see how they feel. This is an important step. Just because other similar type golfers like a club you may not like their feel or weight. Most large golf stores will have golf cages set up where you can hit the balls into a net or computer screen. Some will even have a professional on site to watch your swing and make suggestions on what particular golf club suits your swing. It is very important when purchasing golf clubs to test them out first. (more…)

Weather certainly plays a huge role in a good golf game. Obviously, if it is raining, you aren’t going to be able to golf as easily as if the sun was shining. While summer golf provides great weather conditions, you also won’t want to be on the course when it’s 110 degrees in the shade (which makes it hotter on the fairway!)

Monitoring the weather is something avid golfers do faithfully. Ideal golf weather is about 70 degrees with clear skies and a soft breeze. (more…)

Hybrids are Hot! And we’re not just talking about automobiles.

Taylor Made Golf is one of the largest companies that manufacturers golf club, balls, and accessories for the serious golfer.  Founded in 1979 by Gary Adams, an entrepreneur who also started Founders Club and McHenry metals, Taylor Made has grown into a name synonymous with golf greatness.

While working as a salesman for Witteck Golf, Adams noticed that the new two piece balls performed better on irons than on true woods.  This led him to develop the Taylor Made metal wood.  The driver caught on quickly and Taylor Made has been a leader in hollow metal woods ever since.

Taylor Made continues to make innovations in the area of golf club design.  They have come out with new hybrid golf clubs that are lighter and easier to swing.  The drivers that Taylor Made produces are made of materials that make them easier to hit and as the club faces get larger and larger, Taylor Made has also joined in on the craze.

Many golfers, amateurs and professionals alike, swear by Taylor Made clubs.  Their constantly improving design and performance have made them favorites on the pro circuit.  Golfers are finding that they can get some real distance with Taylor Made drivers and their irons perform very well too.

Besides some of the greatest golf clubs in the world, Taylor Made also (more…)

The average casual golfer doesn’t give much thought to picking the right golf ball. They think of the ball as part of the game that really isn’t all that important. After all, you’re just wacking it around the course, right? (more…)

Like other people, many golfers require corrective lenses in order to see clearly. In golf, like most sports, good vision ensures the best performance. So for the lowest score you must ensure your eyesight is top quality.

Many golfers wear specialized eyewear in order to improve their game. For example, some golfers prefer copper tinted lenses since they can enhance the contrast of a golf ball against the sky and also the green background of greens & fairways. However traditional glasses present many disadvantages to the golfer. Glasses can slip, fog up, or even fall off. They offer no side (peripheral) vision. And the frames can be distracting during a golf stroke.

A product available from Nike: Maxsight, is now available for golfers who want to get rid of their glasses and improve their golf game at the same time. The golf version enhances the red and green part of the visual spectrum. This makes it easier to see the ball & read the contour and details of the putting surface. These contacts also reduce glare from the sun and the contrast between shade and non-shade.

MaxSight Contacts are available at up to a 50% discount from 1-800-Contacts. Take advantage of a 1800Contacts coupon or LensWorld coupon and save extra when you order online.
