About Golf Sets

Golf sets are available in several different shapes and sizes and are sold at most sporting goods stores. The price of the set will vary depending on the brand. The golf sets commonly used by professional golfers can cost several thousand dollars.

• A golfer is only allowed to carry up to 14 golf clubs in their bag at a time while on the golfing range. Most beginners rarely carry the maximum number of clubs allowed.


• There are several categories of clubs that are included in a set. The categories include irons, woods, wedges, putters and hybrids.


• Some golf sets include accessories such as gloves, golf tees and balls. This is the type of set that is most often purchased by beginners. It is much cheaper than purchasing the golf clubs individually. The more experienced golfers usually purchase their clubs separately. Purchasing the golf clubs individually could cost twice as much as purchasing the set.


• A full golf set consists of 14 different golf clubs.


• An inexpensive golf set for a beginner usually starts at about $250 depending on the brand chosen. Name brand clubs can start anywhere from $500 to $2000 depending on the manufacturer.


• Golf sets can be purchased in "short sets", which consist of half the clubs that are included in a regular set of clubs.


• If you are a beginner you should get recommendations from salesmen at a sporting goods store or experienced golfers on the best type of golf set for a novice. This could save you a lot of time and money.
