If you have decided to take up golf, you might be wondering what equipment you will need to play. Another point newcomers also wonder about is whether to purchase or take the equipment on hire from the golf courses.

If you are serious about the game and your performance, purchase the equipment and get it custom-fitted. Having custom-fitted golf clubs is vital to improving your game by as many as five strokes per round and hitting longer and more accurate shots.

Basic Equipment

You will need different clubs, including the putter, the pitching wedge, the sand wedge, the driver, the three, five, seven and nine irons and the three wood. TaylorMade is a renowned brand in the golf equipment industry. You can find a vast range of TaylorMade Qi10 Driver to meet the varying needs of players and they are now popular among both amateurs and professionals worldwide.

Golf gloves: Protect your hands from blisters by using gloves. When you swing, it can hurt your hands. Gloves also help you keep a firm grip on the club.

Golf shoes:  You have a lot of walking to do, and to have enough traction and grip when you swing, you need comfortable shoes.

Golf bag:  You need a golf bag that can carry 14 golf clubs, balls, rain gear and water bottles when you're out on the course.

You'll need tees to put your golf ball on. Tees look like wooden or plastic nails and are often brightly colored. High-quality golf balls can improve your game by delivering exceptional control and longer distances. They are designed to maintain their course, even in demanding weather conditions, ensuring predictability and texture with every swing or precise put.

Another essential piece of equipment you need is the best golf rangefinder.  

a] Accuracy

When selecting a rangefinder, ensure its accuracy. Even a slight difference in putt can take you down in a competition. The top rangefinders compute Slope, wind and more to provide the best "real feel" distance possible.

b] Optics and display

Shooting accuracy with a golf rangefinder is being able to see – and hit – the flag. Hence, it is essential to have good optics and displays. The optics of a rangefinder allow you to see both near and far. The optics must be crystal-clear to find and lock on to your target. Likewise, the display. It is a portion of the rangefinder that relays the distance that you've shot. But you need the same clarity for tree branches and background objects where it can be hard to pinpoint the flagstick.

c] Haptic and visual feedback

So, you will need haptic and visual feedback. Haptic feedback refers to a physical alert like a vibration or a pulse you've locked onto the flag. Some rangefinders count on visual feedback (flashing lights) to let you know you've locked on to the pin. The best rangefinders offer a mixture of the two.

d] Slope adjustment

Slope adjustment is essential. Most rangefinders offer a physical switch to turn off the slope, while some come with digital buttons.
