What Do You Need To Keep In Your Golf Bag
26. September 2009 by Tee It Up Pro Shop.
Before considering what the contents of our golf bag should include, it is actually worth noting that there is a wide choice of golf bags themselves available. To a large degree your golf bag preference is dependent on your budget as well as what you want from your golf bag. There are some golf bags that are designed for fashion, some for their usefulness and practicality and some that combine both of those features.
To ask the age old question - does size matter? Many golfers consider this to be an important factor. So, fortunately there are large bags, larger bags and bags so big that they’d keep everything I would need for a long weekend holiday in one of the side pockets! What do people often say - everything but the kitchen sink, I think it is. Quite possibly you are a golf beginner. If that is the case, choosing a suitable golf bag is one of the numerous aspects of the game you will need to add to your list of “to do’s”. This task along with many other golfing matters can seem quite daunting for the golf “newbie”. Don’t worry though, you can find many great tips and information at Golf Beginners Guide.
Anyway, back to your golf bag. Regardless of any fashion considerations for the time being, generally speaking you will need a bag that will be sufficiently large enough to hold your clubs, extra balls, your glove, tees, car keys, extra pencils, ball markers, a ball retriever,
sun tan lotion, a windbreaker and an umbrella.
It is also worth bearing in mind that it would be a good idea to have a packet of tissues, a sticky plaster or two, and if you play courses wherever insects are a problem, a can of bug repellent spray will also be most welcome. Warm climate or not I would most definitely include a bottle of water (or another preferred drink - no, not alcohol!!)
A small packet of baby wipes will come in very handy as well. When they are in your bag they will be warmed by the heat, therefore if you were to sweat or if you were to be covered in sand after a visit to a bunker for instance, then a nice warm wipe can be extremely satisfying. To cool from the heat, a golfing buddy I know carried a small, battery operated fan with him. Quite a good idea as it happens but remember, they can be fairly noisy and distracting so do not use it when your partner is about to take a shot. The fan is not a bad idea but not an essential for the golfing beginner.
A golfing friend of mine also happens to be allergic to bees, hornets and wasps, so Epipen is a vital addition to his bag. He is also hypoglycemic so he carries Lifesavers, which have to be replaced several times throughout the year because they tend to melt.
One item that does not necessarily need to be in your golf bag is your mobile phone. Nevertheless, if you believe that it is necessary for you to have it while playing, then at least show some consideration for your golfing colleagues and have the ringer on silent. If it so happens that you have to use it, then consider your fellow golfers who may be preparing to take a swing or an important put. Be courteous and show respect for your golf playing partners!!
If you were to include these items in your golf bag then you should be covered for most eventualities, like a minor crisis (such as a blister or small cut), or even a relatively major nuisance like a downpour of rain. Being organised and prepared makes the game a great deal more fun.
You may think of other things that are essential to you (for example you may suffer from hay fever and as a result your medication is vital) so take note of the above items as a guideline. You shouldn’t go over the top as, after all, you will still have to carry the bag so you do not want it to be too heavy. You do not want to expend all you energy on lugging your heavy bag round. Whatever you choose to keep in your bag always look after the items as well as you would look after your other golf equipment.
Choosing Your Golf Clubs

Good clubs will help to improve your game. New advancements in golf club technologies make lighter, bigger, and better golf clubs available to the experienced as well as inexperienced golfer.
How do you know what to look for in golf clubs? For the novice golfer, the basic set of golf clubs consists of drivers, wedges, putters and irons. Beginners will need to use the proper type of club to speed up the learning process. Different clubs are designed for different purposes, such as improving swing speed, and correcting faults to improve your score. You must take into consideration the style, size, and type of material used to make the golf club shaft. Steel is always a cheaper material. Golf clubs with a steel shaft weigh more but can be longer-lasting than other types. More control is achieved with a steel shaft due to less flex. Graphite shafts are lighter than steel, but also more expensive. This type of club is used for long distance shots or for slower swingers. Most golf clubs are available with both steel and graphite shafts. Keep in mind that graphite shafts will not only be lighter and easier to handle, they will also be more forgiving if you have a bad shot.Vibration is absorbed to give you a better feel.Plus, the lighter materials allows for greater swing speeds.
The flexibility of a shaft is referred to as flex, or bend. The less the bend in a shaft, the more control the powerful swinger will have. On the other hand, beginners and those with less powerful swings generally use a shaft with greater flexibility. 65 mph is an average swing speed for beginners. Advanced swings can top 100 mph.
When it comes to selecting a golf club driver, especially as a beginner, you will probably want one with a head made out of titanium.Titanium has many advantages over steel allowing for a larger head with the same amount of material.A larger head on your driver gives you a bigger sweet spot, or area to hit the ball with.This type of club head allows for more forgiving shots.
The goal when buying golf clubs should be to own the best golf clubs you can afford, whether they are name brands, used, or a reproduction of one of the name brands.
Emmas Easy Suggestions To Follow When Choosing Left Handed Golf Club Sets

Selecting left handed golf clubs is not all that different from choosing right handed clubs. The biggest distinction is that there’s a much more limited choice when it comes to left handed golf clubs. This means that it will likely take additional time to find the perfect set. There are lots of more right handed folk than left handed people ; so there are numerous more right handed golfing club sets. There are several players who want left handed clubs because they’re really left handed while others are right handed for everything but sports.
There are 3 main parts to any golf club. These include the head, the shaft, and the grip. The head is the section of the club that’s placed on the grass. This part comes in a extensive array of styles and sizes which have more to do with personal preference than the rest. The shaft is the angle of the club’s head. This part is created from either graphite or steel and directly impacts the distance the ball will travel. Graphite shafts are lighter and are a good selection for ladies, seniors, or people who have joint discomfort. The grip is the material that covers the stick. The grip of the club determines how comfy it will be to hold. The grips have a tendency to get greasy and hard over time and will need to be replaced often .
When purchasing a set of left handed golf clubs it is important to keep in mind that cash will not purchase talent. It is practice and time which will have the largest impact on how you play the game. When searching for a left handed golf club sets you don’t have to go with the big name brands, particularly if you are a beginner. You’ll find a broad selection of costs out there but intend on spending no less than $250 for a basic set.
