A GOLF BEGINNER’S WITB

This is what a purpose built Beginner Golfer set looks like. Each club is specifically selected to make the game easier. Whether it’s designed to increase Forgiveness, Straighten out my shot, hit out of the Rough, or increase the peak height and descent angle. Together this set has helped me become a Bogey Golfer in my fourth Season.

Chipper
Acer XK
45 degrees
Apollo Wedge W

  • fantastic for Chip and Runs, short Pitches over hazards, and for punching out of awkward lies.

Putter
Taylormade Spider X
KBS CT Tour shaft

  • High MOI Putter with exceptional feel.
  • Clubs marked with an asterisk are cycled in and out of the set depending on the Course. I am a huge believer in having the right tool for the job. The 5 Hybrid and 6 Iron fly a similar distance but with completely different trajectories, and are effective from different lies. The Gap Wedge has significantly less bounce than the Attack Wedge, and is great for hitting out of Deep Rough. I also fly it around 10 yards shorter on average. For shorter courses with small Greens it’s beneficial to have every Wedge in the bag.
