Beginner Golf: The Ultimate Christmas List

It’s that time of year again and with 2022 fast approaching, there is no better time to start a new hobby than to learn how to play golf! As a beginner, golf can be quite daunting. With countless rules to understand and equipment to buy, here’s a few items that you should consider putting on your Christmas list!

Golf Gloves

Wearing gloves whilst playing golf will prevent the club from slipping out of your hand. This is because gloves provide extra grip whilst you swing. Wearing gloves will also improve your technique whilst protecting your hands from getting blisters if you play on a regular basis.

These gloves can also help you keep warm when playing golf during the colder months. Check out other tips on how to prepare for this sport during the Winter.

Towel

Whether you have sweaty hands or dirt on your club, a golf towel is what you need if you want to maintain great performance whilst you play! Not only can a towel be used to clean you hands so you have better grip on your equipment, but it can also help you remove any dirt or sand from your club. Especially during rainy weather conditions, these factors could seriously impact how you play. With a golf towel, you can keep everything clean whilst also playing your absolute best!
