    Learning About Your Golf Clubs

    It might surprise you to know that you should really buy golf clubs that are a custom fit. Why? You're not going to wear them! No, but if you buy clubs that are too long or too short, you will not be able to play your best. This may sound expensive, but when you come to think about it, you may find it will actually save money in the long run. For starters, when you buy custom fit golf clubs, you have the options of buying one at a time rather than the entire set. Some of the cheaper sets may only last a couple of seasons. Five clubs will usually be sufficient for a starter's set. These are: - 7 wood, 6 iron, 7 iron, pitching and sand wedge. Others recommend 3 wood, 3 iron, 5 iron, 7 iron, 9 iron and putter.

    Whatever you decide, there is no real need to purchase a full set until you are more proficient at the game. You may even find a used set at a bargain price if you look around 2nd hand shops or garage sales.

    Even if you do purchase your clubs off the rack, you can still have them fitted to a certain extent. Determine the best lie of the club by hitting off the lie board. The angle may then be adjusted for your individual swing. The grip can also be fitted to suit your hands. A good grip will enhance the flight of the ball, an important consideration in the game of golf.

    Once you are t the proud owner of a set of golf clubs, you will need to know how to take care of them. Whether they are used ones or new, they will serve you better for some TLC. Get into the habit of taking a small towel with you to wipe off any mud and sand as soon as it gets on. It will be easier to remove and not such a chore if you do it as you go. Some other hints for club care are: -

    - Store the m inside where there is less humidity.
    - Use head covers for your woods and putter - irons too, if you wish.
    - Use warm soapy water and a soft brush for cleaning club faces at home.
    - Wipe down the grip with a damp cloth.
    - Dry them thoroughly. Wet clubs will rust.
    - No abrasives or wire brushes.

    Remember that poorly kept clubs can be detrimental to your game. How? For starters, dried mud on a club may fall off at the wrong time and go straight into your eyes. A lump of mud can also knock your ball off direction, so it's well worth spending a bit of time cleaning them up.
