3 quick tips for buying golf clubs

Used or new? Steel or graphite shafts? There are a lot of options out there. Here are 3 quick tips to get you started.

  1. 1

    Don't break the bank

    You don't need to spend a fortune to get a great set of clubs. At The DIY Golfer, I'll show you what to look for to build a great, affordable set.

  2. 2

    Getting fitted is worth it... Sometimes.

    I am a huge advocate of getting fitted, but if you're still learning and changing your swing every week, it might make sense to wait until you're more consistent.

  3. 3

    Invest in a good driver

    You can get away with a cheap putter, wedges, and irons. But if you cheap out on a driver, your entire game will feel it. A great driver is a great investment.
