Golf Sets for beginners – a review of golf club sets from The Sports HQ

Starting out in any new sport can be a daunting process with a plethora of golf sets available from any number of golf manufacturers - identifying which set of clubs is best suited to a beginner can be a difficult process. If you take a look in any golf bag you will most likely find a great number of clubs of different size and posture – a typical set of clubs will include a driver, irons, fairway woods, hybrids, wedges and putters.

In the beginning – opt for a golf set below £60

The Sports HQ highly recommends that anyone considering taking up golf should opt for a golf set under £60 – for this

money you can be assured of a good variety of clubs to start you off – and until you find your form and personal requirements. Always look-out for a club set that includes more than one fairway wood, hybrid and putter. For example the Chicago SGS Complete Golf Set from The Sports HQ includes the following clubs … View golf sets for beginners

• 2 Titanium Fusion Woods 3 and 5 - The 3 Wood has Graphite Shaft
• Hybrid Rescue Iron Wood 3/4 to replace the hard to hit 3 and 4 Irons
• 7 Cavity Back Titanium Reinforced Irons with steel shafts
  5-6-7-8-9-PW-SW
• All woods and irons feature oversized heads

• Bag is lightweight so can be carried or used on a trolley.
• Heel and Toe Balanced Putter
• 3-Wood has graphite shaft - all other clubs have Steel Shafts - Regular Flex.

Beyond the starter set – what sort of money should I be spending on a golf set? A set of golf clubs is restricted to a maximum of 14 clubs – what you decide to place in your golf bag is entirely dependent on your style and preference in addition to the demands and conditions of the golf course.

A typical set of Irons will consist of a 3-4-5-6-7-8 and 9-iron and include a pitching wedge (PW), in addition to a driver – 1-wood, 3-wood and 5-wood with putter. You may also opt to carry a Sand Wedge for bunker shots, or hybrid – an iron made with wood technology, which is easier to hit with compared to a driver or a long-iron.
