Tips for the Beginner Golfer: Driver Basics

ByKay

Learning the game of golf can be overwhelming: the rules of the game, the lingo used on the course, the equipment and gear you may need. I don’t think beginners should try and learn everything before starting – you really only need a basic working knowledge of a few key things in order to begin.

You don’t even need to have a full set of clubs. As a beginner, you should just get started with a few, and you can even play with a partial set. I’ve shared before that I think you really only need five clubs to get started. One of those should be a driver.

Welcome to Volume 1 of The Weekly Links, a round-up of what I’m reading, what I’m clicking on, and what I’m trying out for my golf game. I’d love to hear from you in the comments about what you’ve been paying attention to golf-wise this week.

I went to the driving range on Monday and it felt great to warm up. I worked on trying the different clubs in my bag – starting with my 8-iron and working my way down, and then back up. I hit my 8-iron, 7-iron, 6-iron, 5-wood, 4-hybrid, and driver.

In fact, I’ve shared before that I think you really only need five clubs to get started. And one of those just happens to be a pitching wedge.

Golf Wardrobe, Tried and Tested: Zella Live In Joggers

When I started learning to golf, I wore what I had in my workout wardrobe. Most of those items were well-worn leggings, sweats, and tops. I wanted to get some newer, not-too-expensive items that I could wear that would be good for playing golf and would get some wear in other parts of my life too.

I decided to try the jogger version of the pants I loved, and they are truly incredible. Zella’s Live In Jogger comes in sizes from XS – 2X.

In my earliest days, I thought all golf balls were the same. It turns out that’s not quite the case. So I started trying to figure out – which golf balls are the best for beginners? Then I learned I’d be losing quite a few on the course, as I worked on keep my shots straight. In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a good golf ball for beginners and balance it against cost.
