Required equipment and rental options

To play golf you need the right equipment, but if you don’t have your own, you have various rental options.

Standard equipment for practicing this sport includes:

Golf clubs: Sticks are used to perform various strokes. Typically, a set consists of 14 sticks, with each stick specifically designed to provide different degrees and trajectories of strokes.

Golf balls: Made from synthetic materials, golf balls are designed to provide better aerodynamics and facilitate the lift and spin of the ball after impact.

Tags: They are thin, round objects made of metal or plastic. Their job is to mark the exact spot where the golf ball has landed.

Tees: They are usually made of wood or plastic and have a pointed bottom and a round top. They are driven into the ground to raise the position of the ball on initial impact.

Repair Tool: They are used by players to correct the marks left by the ball.

Gloves: Gloves help golfers achieve a better grip on the golf club. Usually, one glove is worn on the non-dominant hand, but there are players who play with gloves on both hands.

When it comes to appropriate golf attire, it includes:

Golf T-shirt: This type of T-shirt is most often short-sleeved and has a collar. A comfortable sweater can be worn over the T-shirt, thrown over the shoulders, to wear if it gets cold.

Pants: Appropriate pants for playing golf are long khaki-style sweatpants without cargo pockets. Shorts that are just below the knee are acceptable. Ladies can play golf in either long or short pants of the appropriate length, or in golf skirts.

Shoes: Golf shoes can be either with soft spikes or without spikes. It is good to know that if you do not own special golf shoes, you can rent them, along with the rest of your golf equipment.
