Which do you prefer a golf club caddy or a human caddy? Most golfers have an unusual relationship with their caddies. Do you want an over talkative caddy who disrupts your game? Or a best friend caddy who listens?

Having a caddy can make the game much more enjoyable. Someone who gives you tips for which clubs are best for certain areas in the course; can be a bonus? A golf club caddy is useful for golfers who find that having a human caddy can sometimes become a hindrance to the quality of the game .

Golf Club Caddy types

Golf club caddies have many standards. It can be as small as a clothes pin used to help a golf club stand on its own, to a larger golf trolley. A Golf club caddy can also be a combination of a single piece golf club carrier with a golf stand , plus can include a rib for strength, located on the interior of the hollow body.

Some inventors have made a golf club caddy that’s a mix a golf club carrier and the golf stand which has a golf ball retainer pocket. This is placed by the hand grip and the throat and accepts at least one golf ball. The slot means is the golf ball pocket for easy reach of the ball in available by contacting the ball through the slot and sliding the ball toward the front of the carrier and out of the golf ball pocket.

Other invention of golf club caddy is a lightweight combination of a golf club carrier and support stand adapter with wheels. So that golf clubs can easily be rolled thought out the golf course. The clubs can also be quickly and easily be arranged from a standing position when they are placed in the location with the grip ends on the ground.

With longer golf courses being made, the need for a strong robust golf club caddy has grown. Choosing to have a golf club caddy can be convenient because the golfer can roll his golf bag around the course all by himself, if he decides to work without a caddy.

Even with the presence of caddies, a golf club caddy bag has become a standard. It eases the duties and the burden of having the caddies carry the golfer’s bag around. So whatever way you may decide to go, golf club caddy is here to stay.

Keeping in mind, from the mental point of the game, a human, to bounce ideas off and ask for advice, can be a major asset and can improve your game by leaps and bounds. The idea that you can always use or choose not to use the advice, plus working with a golf caddy as your friend makes the game more enjoyable, which is the real goal after all?

Most Pro shops and driving ranges sell second hand clubs. They will also be able to offer you advice and let you try some clubs out. Just make sure that you don’t pay more for a used ‘branded’ set than you would for a brand new ‘clone glub set’ (see below).

Alternatively, nearly all driving ranges will have clubs for hire if you want to have a go without committing to a set until you get the hang of it.

Or ask other people at the driving range, you will soon find out that many have another set of clubs at home because they made the exact same mistakes I mentioned above. Make sure you try before you buy, if they fit (and only if they fit!) you can often get them for a steal. Or try advertising in some classified sites for second hand clubs. Alternatively, you can also check some online auctions. One of our readers, CJ Matthews, suggests that swap meets and garage sales are always good places to get cheap gear. Also, his favorites are Goodwill and the Salvation Army. Make use of these opportunities, and also take a look our editorial on how to choose a golf club.

Having said that, the advantage of a brand new set is that it provides a great boost in confidence and committment, compared to playing with a used, second hand set. So, if you prefer to have your own brand new set of clubs I suggest that you take a look at the selections at golf clone manufacturers like Pinemeadow Golf and GigaGolf, arguably the two best clone club merchants on the web. There you can get a complete golf sets from some US$150, including custom fitting. The quality of their clubs is comparable to well known brands, but their prices are way more ‘realistic’ (however, if you have to have the big brand name clubs than take a look at the selection on the Austads Golf website where they offer the name brands for less).

Getting custom fitted is easy and painless with web-based fitting tools like the ‘club fitting wizard’ at Pinemeadow Golf or the ‘e-fit System’ at GigaGolf. It helps to have a partner who assists with some of the measurements required.

I again stress that you need to have a basic understanding on which club suits you reasonably well before you buy. DO NOT buy expensive brands at this stage.

You will also need golf balls. As a beginner you will lose quite a few due to stray shots into the woods, water hazards etc. To save some money on balls don’t buy the expensive new ones, instead get recycled golf balls that play just as well but cost only a fraction – I guarantee that you will NOT see a difference in your game compared to using new balls!

How many times have you set up for your swing and tried to put all your strength behind the club to smack it down the course? Basic physics will be against you and more often than not you will shank the ball. Learning the fundamentals of the basic golf swing will allow you to hit the ball further down the course.

Watch a pro line up and take a shot. You will notice that even though they are well conditioned and have strong muscles, they do not use all of their strength while taking the shot. The basic golf swing is more about using physics.

Examine your golf clubs. You will notice that each club is slightly different by design. This is to be expected, as each golf club is required to do a different job.

Pure power would be ideal if you were hitting the golf ball with a straight stick. Instead you need to hit the ball in a controlled and relaxed manner. The perfect golf swing will require power and flexibility and allow you to get the distance that you want while hitting the ball in the direction you want it to travel.

Correct positioning of your body in relationship to the ball enables you to make solid contact with the club head. The swing is an awkward movement that will only feel natural with practice. Stretching and remaining limber both during your game and off the course is crucial to completing your golf swing.

Following a specific golf exercise program has been shown to be extremely effective in allowing you to make full use of the basic golf swing. Any exercise program designed for golfing will contain both strength exercises and stretching exercises. The physics of the basic golf swing will be much easier to achieve when your body is conditioned for the game.

What should you look for in a set of golf clubs? How do I know which set is best for me and my current abilities? What about getting clubs custom made for my size and level of strength? These are just some of the questions you should be asking yourself before you decide to go out and buy a new set of golf clubs. After all this can mean the difference between seeing an improvement in your game or indeed a decline. Which one would you prefer?

Golf Clubs – Woods

How do you know which type of would you need for your game? Well if you are a beginner to the game of golf, you need to look for woods that have a more flat face. The reason for this is because a flat face will increase the likelihood of your ball going straighter down the fairway. This however will also mean that you will be sacrificing distance for overall accuracy. If you have been playing for quite some time now, a better option would be finding a wood that is more curved and therefore has a stronger “sweet spot”. This will increase the distance of your shots, but reduce the accuracy.

Golf Clubs – The Driver

Should I use the driver for all of my tee shots on par 4′s and par 5′s? For a beginner, having a type of golf club like the driver in your bag usually in more of a hindrance than a help. Why? Because when starting out in golf people should focus more on accuracy than overall distance. Just because you can drive 300 yards doesn’t mean you should do it all the time. Beginners should start by using the 5 or 3 wood initially for all their drives as they tend to be more accurate. Take this into consideration next time you head down for a round at your local golf club.

Golf Clubs – Irons

How can I tell the difference between a good iron and a bad one? There are two main things you should look for in an iron. One, the amount of grooves on the face and two, the size of the sweet spot on the back of the face. The amount of grooves on the face will determine the level of spin you are able to produce. Some golfers prefer to have less grooves because they feel they can get more distance, but I prefer to choose control above anything else. In actual fact you should not have to worry about distance so much so because if you find a set of golf clubs that contain a strong and central sweet spot, this will be an automatic thing.

Golf Clubs – The Putter

There are three different types of putters: the normal grip putter, the belly putter and the broomstick putter. Most people tend to go for the normal putter as this is the most easiest to learn initially. However many people who have learnt how to use the belly putter and the broomstick putter have had much success. The only thing that matters is “what works best for you”. Try testing them all out. You never know, it might be the missing ingredient in your game!
