What equipment do i need?

Playing golf requires a range of equipment, all of which can be bought and a lot of which may be hired. Equipment includes balls, a golf bag, a trolley, tees and markers, golf shoes, a glove, a scorecard and pencil, waterproofs and an umbrella, and of course, a set of golf clubs.

Golf clubs are designed to help you make different kinds of shots. There are woods for tee and long fairway shots. Irons for approach shots of various lengths to the green, and the putter for rolling the ball on the green and into the hole. Each club has a different loft, or angle of the clubhead, which produces shots of different heights and distances.
