What brand of golf clubs is best for a chick starting out?
Q. I want to start playing golf. I'm 22 years old and I've done a little research on golf clubs. I knew going into this that Callaway is probably the best brand, but its also really expensive. Is Wilson a good brand for Women's golf clubs? I want to spend no more than 2 or 3 hundred dollars on a complete set to start out with. Is that reasonable?
Asked by razzle - Wed Jun 3 16:47:12 2009 - - 3 Answers - 3 Comments
A. Hello future golfer. I have been playing golf for about 5 years now. I use a non-brand set of clubs (Gear 2 Golf) it cost for the whole set about 350.00. I know the name is generic but these clubs have a softer feel to them and allow some forgiveness to mistake shots. All I can say is care full with brand names around that price. They are mostly true-hit clubs( as in they have no forgiveness to them). Hope this helps, good luck in your search.

What makes golf one of the most expensive sports?
Q. Well i've never golf but i do watch all those people golfing on my telly, so it makes me wonder that whenever my uncle said that he went golfing the other weekend - my other relatives would be like WOW cuz well, golfing is expensive and the "rich" would always be the one that could afford to play for leisure for a sport like that. So why, why is golf expensive? Is it the golf set?

What type of golf clubs does a beginner need for a round of golf?
Q. I just finished up a golf class last week put on by ESPN in which they gave you a set of Nike Ignite clubs to get started, namely; 4-9 irons, pw, 3-hybrid and a putter. I added a cheap driver (which I'm planning on upgrading to a Nike Summo) and a Wilson 58 deg sand wedge as well. I have played the past two months with this set and feel that I may need more fairway clubs especially for the 5 pars. I'm getting mixed up between some saying I need a 3 and a 5 wood while others say I need 5, 7 and 9 wood. As well, I'm mixed up whether I should get hybrids (like the #3 that I have) to take the place of the woods. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should get to complete my set?

A. The ideal set for the intermediate golfer would start with Game Improvement irons. You still need forgiveness but you'd also like a little more feel and control. If you tend to hit your irons well you might be ready to consider a regular 4 iron, otherwise stay with your hybrid 4. For your distance clubs add a little less loft on those fairway woods and hybrids to maximize distance. You might be ready to drop your 5 hybrid and replace it with a 3 hybrid. Your driver is still oversized with about 10-12 degrees of loft to maximize distance and accuracy. Shaft selections may be the most important component. You want a shaft that matches your swing speed and ball flight requirements. Perhaps a draw bias to help get the drive moving a little… [cont.]

A. It depends upon the golf course you play. Some local public courses have no dress code (just decent). Most expensive courses or country clubs require long slacks and pull over shirts with collars, usually no jeans, halters, or short shorts. You do need regular golf shoes, the usual golf equipment, and some kind of cap or hat. It's a fun game. Learn and have fun. You'll meet many nice and polite people.

A. There's two basic constructions of golf balls: two-piece and multi-layered (used to be three-piece, but some companies have four layers- Taylormade has a five layered ball!). Two-piece balls have a core and a cover. The cover is generally made out of Surlyn (or Ionomer), while the core is a solid plastic and/or rubber mix. Bridgestone's e5 is the lone exception: a two-piece ball with a urethane cover. They are generally billed as "distance" balls, though robot testing by Golf Magazine has proven that there's only a 5-7 yard difference between all golf balls (at 95 mph swing speed). Multi-layered balls have a core, mantle and cover. The models with four layers have different names for the 4th layer (dual-core, inner mantle/outer… [cont.]

A. They use an old-school yardage book created for the tournament. Typically, the caddies will buy said yardage book before the tournament and then walk the course to verify yardages and add yardages to/from specific points. They might use a rangefinder/GPS during practice rounds but they're verboten during tournament rounds. Either way, the caddie is still walking the course on his own at least once before Thursday. The players/caddies are given pin sheets which show distances to the hole...it's a crude drawing of the green with two numbers (one from either the front or back, and one from either the left or right side).

Q. I havent seen any caddy carry a golf gps or one of those radar assisted measuring devices to calculate the distances to a particular hole. All they seem to carry is a notepad.. So do they have electronic devices to assist them and we just dont see them use it on television coverage or do they follow some other method?? Or is it a combination of both?? Really interested in knowing this..Thanks guyz..

How much does a golf caddy make a hour?
Q. I'm 13 and am planning to be a golf caddy. What do average non-pro golf caddies charge per hour? I'm not going to give golf advice, because I font think a grown man would appreciate advice from a young girl. It would also be quite embarrassing around his golf-friends.

How does tossing golf balls or golf tees determine who tees off first?
Q. Working at a golf course I watch players toss golf balls across the tee box or toss up ball tee's to detemine who get's the tee box. Just curious the method behind this.
