Golf Beginners FAQ

I want to start out with name-brand clubs - but how do I know which brand to buy?

Buying name-brand clubs certainly isn't a necessity, especially for a beginner. But most golfers, at some point, will plop down some money on a nice, shiny set of clubs from the likes of Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping or many of the other top-tier clubmakers.

Here are some suggestions to help you choose the brand you'll wind up buying:

• Ask around. Your friends who golf probably have some strong opinions on who makes the best clubs.

• Watch your fellow golfers on the course. When a cart passes by, take a quick glance in the bags. Get an idea of what others on the course are playing.

• Comparison shop. You might want Brand A, but discover that Brand B is much less expensive. Both have good reputations. Which do you buy? If you're like most people, Brand B.

• Read golf club reviews.

• Read golf magazines, which often review clubs or feature articles on manufacturers.

• Ask your friendly local golf pro. Just keep in mind that many of your friendly local golf pros may have ties to certain manufacturers.

• Find a demo day that's coming up in your area and make plans to attend.
At last I will strongly recommend you going to some online store for name-brand golf equipment which can give you a really amazing discount. Such as amgolf18.com. I bought taylormade burner 2.0 irons and ping g20 driver there, and I like them both.
