Choosing Junior Golf Equipment

Buying junior golf equipment can be like dumping money into a money pit, but armed with some knowledge you can save time and money in selecting the right clubs for your son or daughter. As with most things in life, you can spend a lot or you can spend a little several times before you get what you really need.

If you are first starting out and not completely sure if your child wants to commit to this addictive game, you should either rent clubs at the golf course, or buy a starter set of clubs.

Buying a set of started clubs enables your junior golfer to become accustomed to them; enabling them to concentrate on their swing instead of wondering how this set of miss-matched clubs you just rented are going to work out.

As they become better at the game, you should invest in a better set of clubs, fitted to your junior golfer.

Generally, a set includes a driver, one or two fairway woods, 4-9 irons, a wedge or two and perhaps a putter.

As your junior golfer become more experienced and start thinking about new clubs, you may want to consider buying their driver separately. Some players want a driver to give them more accuracy; some need the distance.

There are numerous balls available and the box will usually have a chart on the back and direct you to the right ball for your junior golfer's needs. As they learn the game and get better at it, you should experiment with different balls which could improve your junior golfer's accuracy or distance.

Having the right equipment is an important aspect of the game; buy wisely!
