either rent clubs at the golf course, or buy a starter

set of clubs.

Buying a set of started clubs enables you to become

accustomed to them; enabling you to concentrate on

your swing instead of wondering how this set of

miss-matched clubs you just rented are going to work

out.

As you become better at the game, you should invest in

a better set of clubs, fitted to you.

Generally, a set includes a driver, one or two fairway

woods, 4-9 irons, a wedge or two and perhaps a putter.
