You must be geared up properly in order to play golf. The article will give you a good idea of basic golf equipment and how to improve your basic golf swing. You will obviously need the essential equipment such as golf balls and clubs. The clubs must include drivers, irons, a putter and some wedges. It is important to have this variety of clubs as a golf course has different landscapes and the different clubs will allow you to deal with these.

A lot of professional golfers will usually have two bags of clubs. If you are just starting out i wouldn't worry about this and would just stick with the one. To protect your drivers in the bag, driver head covers can be purchased from most good sports/golf stores.A golf glove is another essential piece of equipment. Without this you will not be able to have the correct grip on the club and this could affect your basic golf swing. If you have a right hand golf grip then you will need to wear the glove on your left hand. If you have a left hand golf grip then it will need to be on the right hand.

Golf shoes are another essential piece of equipment on the golf course. With a round of golf, you will walk a fair distance, especially if you're a beginner and you may be spraying the ball all over the place! The shoes usually have spikes in them to give you a good grip on the ground while you are taking your swing. It is important to have a good balance in your basic golf swing and this will help with your consistency. You can always hire a golf cart if you're on a course. However, these can sometime be expensive and walking is always a good way of keeping your fitness up!
