For beginners in every sport, understanding the basics of the game and getting basic gear for the sport is essential to having a fun-filled experience. You can’t master any sport, you have to practice regularly, so you need your equipment.

Golf tools are easy to come by. You could rent some of them that are too expensive to buy such as golf carts. You can purchase the others at stores online or at sports accessories shops around you.

Some of the essential tools every beginner must have to enjoy golf include:

1. Golf bags and golf carts

Golf bags are a necessary part of your golfing experience. They come in handy when you need to pack your sports gear, like golf clubs, gloves, divot tools, and tees. Carrying those items will be cumbersome without having a bag to pack them in. Golf carts help move sports gear from one part of the course to another.

On the other hand, golf carts can be pretty pricey. Most golfers rent them hourly or daily, depending on how often they want to use them. The rates for rent vary from one company to the other, usually about $15 per hour and about $55 per day for two-seater carts.

2. Golf clubs

You will need golf clubs to play. There are several golf clubs made out of different materials.

The golf club is made up of 3 main parts:

The golf head: It’s the part of the club that hits the ball. It could be iron, wooden, or a putter. The wooden variants are getting out of fashion, as the steel models gradually replace them.

The shaft: This is the connection between the grip and the clubhead. It is often designed to move easily through the air for maximum force.

The grip: The grip of your golf club determines the accuracy and force with which you will buy the ball. The better the grip, the more accurate your shots will be.

3. Gloves

Using gloves greatly increases your accuracy with hitting balls. Your grip on the club handle is better when you use gloves. So, when you strike the golf balls, you control the force you use.

Leather gloves give better grips than gloves made from synthetic material. On the other hand, synthetic material lasts longer than the leather variants.

4. Markers and Tees

Markers are essential when two or more players are on the golf course. If a player’s ball is obstructing others, the player could remove the ball and mark the spot. Markers could be plastic or metal, flat or round.

Tees are support tools for the ball. They are either made of wood or plastic. You place the ball on the tee on grass courses before striking it.

5. Divot tools

Players use the divot tools to smoothen the courses when the ball bounces and makes depressions on them. Repeated depressions without smoothening the soil will damage the golf course, making it unsuitable for playing.

In conclusion, remember to maintain your equipment so they don’t get damaged. For instance, the metal surfaces, like the clubs and the markers, should be cleaned regularly to prevent them from rust.
