Golf Sets for Beginners

Golf Sets for Beginners

You’ve decided to start playing golf for the first time and have booked your first golf lesson at the local driving range.

Before your first lesson the most important thing to do is purchase a suitable set of golf clubs; a golf set is the most cost-effective addition to your setup at the beginning of your golf career instead of purchasing golf clubs individually and a golf bag to store and transport the clubs to and from the golf course or driving range.

Which items of golf equipment are included in a beginner’s golf set? Four types of golf club are usually included; these are known as woods, irons and putters in addition to hybrid golf clubs which is a cross between an iron and a golf wood. In the game of golf a player is allowed to carry up to 14 golf clubs in their bag – in any combination. The cost of golf lessons from a professional can be expensive in addition to purchasing new golf clubs and equipment. If you’ve considered purchasing a set of used golf clubs before your first lesson – be cautious. Used golf clubs can work out to be a false economy if the items arrive with worn grips, fractured shafts (graphite) or missing head-covers. The cost of purchasing new golf clubs for beginners has fallen drastically in recent years with online retailers like The Sports HQ supplying factory direct golf equipment – offering typical savings of up to 85% - compared to the traditional retail store.

The Sports HQ for example manufacturers and supplies beginners golf sets in men’s, ladies and junior editions – with prices starting as low as £29.99 for a junior golf set to £49.99 for a beginner’s set of adult golf clubs. New golf sets from The Sports HQ all carry a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty for extra piece of mind; each golf set is tailored for the specific requirements of the player – for example lady flex shafts in graphite and stainless steel are fitted to all clubs included in the ladies golf set. The Texan Classics Junior Golf Set from The Sports HQ features junior flex shafts on all clubs including a titanium 3-wood, 7-8-iron and putter. All beginners’ golf sets include a deluxe stand bag to securely store each club to and from the golf course.

The Chicago SGS Complete Golf Clubs Set in men’s, ladies and left-handed includes a titanium 3-wood, a 3/4 hybrid rescue club which replaces the 3 and 4 long irons, in addition to 7 cavity back titanium reinforced irons (5-6-7-8-9-PW-SW) – all fitted with stainless steel shafts; the set is completed with a heel and toe balanced putter. All woods and irons included in the Chicago SGS set for beginners feature oversized club-heads for increased forgiveness on off-centre shots – this also inspires confidence and motivation to continue learning and practicing.

After progressing from the driving range to your first outing to a pitch and putt or actual golf course you’ll also require a number of inexpensive golf balls for the duration of the course. All players lose the odd golf ball here and there in the beginning; the transition from driving range to golf course is a big one – suddenly a number of environmental factors like wind speed and direction come into play, and for the newcomer this can translate into the occasionally lost golf ball. The addition of water and sand hazards can also play a main role in losing golf balls. There are two inexpensive solutions to replacing lost golf balls; lake balls are used golf balls which are salvaged from the bottom of vast lakes across the world and reconditioned to a Grade A standard; lake balls offer players the chance to play top brands including Titliest, Noodle and Strata at a fraction of the cost of brand new golf balls. A 2-dozen mix of grade A golf balls can be purchased for £4.99 from The Sports HQ. If you’re determined to play new golf balls – a 2-dozen box of Prosimmon Tour golf balls can be picked up from the same online retailer for £5.99.

What to do when an internet company you have been buying from for two yrs. shafts you?

I have a sm. home business that requires materials that I have been buying from one specific place for 2 yrs. My last order I rcvd. from them was broken and not what I ordered. I have called them 10 times (with no response) I have emailed over a dozen times to no avail. The Better Business Bureau can't even get them to respond. What do I do now. I am out hundreds of dollars. It was a crucial order. I had customers expecting it. I just want my money or the requisite order refilled. Any suggestions??????

You can't let this ruin your business arrangement with your customers. If I had customers waiting, I would fill the order from another source, and ask for priority shipping, or have them drop-ship it directly to your customers if possible.

Then I would contact the old supplier via registered mail, with signature confirmation or return receipt to show that it was delivered and who signed for it, and tell them that the order received was wrong, and you want to return it and get your money back.

You may not be able to get your money back from them. It sounds like they've either gone under, or are about to. That's just part of the risk of owning a business, I guess.

Genocide suspect carries on work from Paris refuge
PARIS—Last spring in Congo, a group of rebels decapitated the chief of the village of Busurungi, tied the village men in a line elbow to elbow and cut off their heads. In the meantime, the man who says he coordinates the rebels’ daily activities was putting out their press releases from his apartment in a suburb of Paris. That’s where Callixte Mbarushimana lives as a free man—even though he is ...
