Female And Male Golf Clubs

Buying a female golf club will be same as buying man's golf club. The female player who is looking to purchase a golf club has to know her style and be fully aware of her playing style.

 

Some prefer to go for a shorter model while the others go for more controllable and taller women golf clubs. Like when you are buying anything else, comparing the models will be the best way to choose what is best for you.

 

Instead of the Titleist Scotty Cameron Sportstyle New Port 2 Putter in a man's golf clubs, female golf clubs include wood, iron and short game. While wooden women golf clubs are lighter they allow the women to swing faster and send the ball to greater distances. Unlike a mans Cleveland HiBore XLS Fairway Wood, the females wood is shorter and without a standard size they come in different sizes to suit their height. Even though there is no specified size as such, any female player who is between heights from 5'5" to 5'9" can have their choice.

 

Unlike the normal golf irons the men use, female irons are lot lighter and easier to control. Furthermore their heads are bigger than the mans iron allowing the ball to be hit much easier. Last but not the least comes the short game. These clubs are lighter than the former two and shorter as well.

 

With the right set of female golf clubs, there is no limit or restrictions to where a female golfer can go. If you are a woman, if you are a golf lover, then reading this before you buy golf clubs, you’ll find it useful.

Attire/ettiquette for golf at country club (female). Help!?

I've been invited to golf at a country club and I've never golfed at a really nice place such as this. I'm female (40). What do you suggest I wear. Also...what types of things can I expect? Like, will they take my clubs, do I tip? Etc. etc. 'm used to doing everything myself at the cheap courses. Oh yeah, at what point do I put my golf shoes on?? In the locker room?? I usually just change in the parking lot...so I know that won't fly there!!!

For your round, wear golf attire...go conservative. Collared shirt, either pants or shorts (depending on the weather- bring both just in case).

Check with your host, but it's a near-certainty that there will be a locker room where you can dress and put your golf shoes on. If you use a locker and/or take a post-round shower, tip the locker room attendant a minimum of US$10.

Clubs- odds are the course will have a drive-up valet where they will take your clubs (they'll more than likely take them to a cart for you). Tip the valet; if they park your car tip the attendant when they bring your car up.

If you are playing an event at the course (i.e. a member isn't having you as a guest), use the locker room as described. Odds are they will have ample signage, volunteers, etc. to help you navigate and feel welcome. Perfectly understandable to ask about practice/warmup facilities.

If you are being hosted by a member, once you arrive let your host know you're there. Odds are they will likely meet up with you and make sure you're sorted as it relates to a locker, etc. You also might grab a quick bite before your round depending on how early you get there (always better to give yourself plenty of time to be ready).

Some other tips:
-Unless you are 100% certain it's "play the round and head out" bring a change of clothes. At a minimum, a clean shirt and pants/skort/skirt/slacks aren't bad ideas.
-If you are being hosted, typically you're in a situation where you wouldn't be expected to pay for anything (your host is already paying for your golf, and will most likely pay for any food/beverage you consume). HOWEVER, if you and your host are using caddies (less and less likely, sadly), it's within reason for you to tip your caddie (just tip what your host tips).
-If you wager (I know- unheard of on the golf course), that's cash on the barrelhead once you settle up in the bar/grill room. No checks, credit, IOU's (and don't assume they have an ATM). You pull out your wallet and pay cash.
-If you are playing a course of some notariety you might wish to buy a memento (logo ball, etc.). Perfectly understandable (I got a hookup to play at Oakmont CC in Pennsylvania a few years ago and did this).

Since you're unfamiliar with the course; if you have a caddy ask him/her about layout (what side of the fairway is best, what line to take, etc...yardages, and green speeds/break. Do NOT ask him/her what club you should hit (you know how far you hit each club, so if your caddy gives you a number it's pull the club and make a good swing) or about rules infractions. I used to hate this when I caddied (I have no idea how far someone out of the blue can hit a 6-iron). Maintain a good pace of play.

One last thing- if you're playing with a group of men, play the set of tees you are comfortable with based on your handicap and how far you typically hit the ball (you probably do this already- if you can play a 6,200 yard course comfortably, then play that set of tees). You're probably used to the drill by now. Just step up to the tee and be ready to hit (I don't mean rush yourself, I mean set up, one practice swing, and then hit a good shot). Oh, and unless your host insists, play ready golf.

Enjoy the day.
