Golf EquipmentGolf: a game in which a player using special clubs attempts to sink a ball with as few strokes as possible into each of the 9 or 18 successive holes on a course.

Before you play golf, you need to know what golf equipment is necessary for the game and how it is used. The most essential pieces of golf equipment are the golf clubs and golf balls. Understanding the uses and features of golf clubs and balls will make the purchase of this fundamental golf equipment a little less overwhelming. There are basically three types of golf clubs: the woods, the irons and the putter. Each golf club is designed for a particular type of golf shot and for a certain distance. Each player is allowed up to fourteen different golf clubs per game. Usually a player will have three to four woods, the irons 3-9, a sand wedge, a pitching wedge, and a putter. The # 1 wood is called the driver. This club is designed to hit your ball the greatest distance from the tee. All woods are used for long distances where less precise accuracy is required. Irons are for making more accurate and shorter shots with the pitching wedges and sand wedges are for getting out of not only general trouble, but also hazards such as a sand bunker. The putter is used once your ball is on the green and to finish the hole. There are many manufacturers of golf clubs, this most essential piece of golf equipment. InTheHoleGolf.com carries many brands for men, women and younger folks including Tour Edge, Nakashima, Hippo, Sonartec, and Rawlings.
Golf balls are the other vital piece of golf equipment you will need. You can’t play golf without the golf ball! The golf ball has evolved from a simple round object to a technical work of art. Sixteenth century golf balls were made from solid wood which evolved to balls made from the hides of horses or bulls and stuffed with feathers to one piece balls made from a rubbery material to finally a golf ball made with rubber strands wrapped around a core. The past 100 years has seen great advances in the construction of golf balls to the point were there are two-piece balls, three-piece balls, balata and Surlyn balls, wound balls, liquid-center balls, titanium-center balls, "senior" balls, "ladies" balls, balls that offer "extra distance" or "extra spin" and many hybrid balls that combine these characteristics. Only balls that conform to USGA rules may be used in professional and USGA amateur events. To be deemed "conforming," a ball must pass a battery of USGA tests. Yet, the United States Golf Association includes close to 1,900 balls on its "conforming" list. It can be overwhelming trying to choose which golf ball, a seemingly simple piece of golf equipment, will best improve your game. If you have any questions, please call 888-733-8383 and our professionals will be glad to serve you. Now that you have chosen your golf clubs and selected some golf balls you can focus on other golf equipment that will improve your game and make it more enjoyable. The next piece of golf equipment to consider is the golf bag. To determine what kind of bag is best, you need to decide how much golf equipment are you going to carry and are you going to carry the bag yourself or are you going to use a golf cart or a caddie. Although this piece of golf equipment is not going to directly affect your game, it will have an overall impact on your fatigue level particularly if you are walking the links. Your golf bag will carry all your golf equipment including those golf clubs and balls, markers, tees, towels, golf glove, possibly an umbrella, a thermos with coffee or perhaps a water bottle, sun screen, a jacket or sweater. If you are going to be “carrying” your golf bag, consider buying that helpful piece of golf equipment - the push or pull golf cart. The next generation of electric golf pushcarts is easy to operate with front steering adjustments and a motor that automatically maintains speed going up and down hills. They are an extremely efficient piece of golf equipment that will make your day on the links much more pleasurable. InTheHoleGolf.com carries many types of golf bags and golf carts from the top golf equipment companies. We have pull golf carts as well as push golf carts with electric and non-electric versions.
