How to build a beginner golf club set

2. Choose the make-up of your beginner golf club set

You’re allowed to use 14 clubs out on the golf course, but in our opinion this is far too many for someone starting out in the game.

Start with fewer and you can also add to your set as you get into it a bit more and start noticing any large distance gaps.

For a beginner golf club set I would recommend; driver, a lofted hybrid (around 22˚), 6-iron to pitching wedge, sand wedge and putter.

That’s nine clubs that should get you around the course effectively.

Hitting driver is the most fun and has the biggest head to allow a solid contact with the ball when pegged up on a tee.

A lofted hybrid is easier to hit than a long iron or fairway wood and is very versatile from different situations.

We’re recommending starting at 6-iron as that’s often the longest iron that beginner players can hit relatively consistently. If you have success with the 6-iron then think about adding a 5-iron.

The pitching wedge will get plenty of use from 100 yards and in which is where the majority of shots will be played from.

Try and just use the sand wedge from the sand and the putter for, err, putting?
