beginner golfers gift ideas golf tips and tricks

Learning to play golf can be intimidating at first, and knowing what kit you’ll need can be even trickier.

If you want to avoid looking like a total beginner when you rock up on the course, keep reading. I’m about to tell you the 5 things every beginner golfer needs in their golf bag.

What Do I Need In My Golf Bag?

#1: Clubs

You guessed it, you’re going to need some golf clubs. Shopping for clubs can be a daunting task when you’re a beginner golfer, but there are plenty of kits out there designed to help you get started.

Ranging from $250 to $1000 dollars, there are a whole range of great beginner golfer kits to choose from online or in your local golfing store.

#2: Towel

You might not have expected this one to be on the list, but a towel is an absolute must-have for people learning to play golf. Golf can be an extremely messy sport, with mud and grass often flying everywhere when you’re just getting started.

Take a towel to keep your balls and clubs clean – you won’t regret it!

#3: Small Accessories Pouch

A pouch is a great way to keep all of your golfing accessories safe and secure so you can access them whenever you need to.

Remember to pack:

  • Tees
  • Pencils
  • Ball markers
  • Ball repair tools

Storing all of your essentials in one handy pouch is a great tip for beginner golfers.

#4: Golf Glove

Don’t forget your golf glove! This will make you look like a real pro, even when you don’t feel like one! Keep in mind that if you’re left-handed, you’ll need a right-handed glove, and if you’re right-handed, you’ll need one that’s left-handed.

#5: Golf Balls

Golf balls are the other obvious essential for your golf bag. Whether you opt for neon pink, electric yellow, or classic white, it’s important to have a selection of balls in your golf bag (because you’ll certainly lose some along the way!).

Bonus Tip

If you’re desperate not to look like a beginner when starting out in golf, or if you’re serious about having the best kit on the course, you might want to consider purchasing a range finder.

As well as making you look like you know what you’re doing, this clever piece of golfing technology allows you to calculate the distances to your next target, giving you a better perspective of the course.

So, that’s all of the key things you’ll need to have in your bag when learning to play golf. It’s a great sport to get involved in and having the right kit will ensure you get off to the best start possible.
