When you first start to play golf, you can get confused by the different types of clubs that you might want to buy. There are graphite clubs, steel shafted clubs, and sets that offer a combination of both graphite and steel shafts. Here’s some advice my golf teacher gave me about choosing the right club for you.

In my last article I described where you should place the ball in your stance. Many people got in touch with me to explain further where the ball should be in terms of being forward or back in your stance, and on reading the article again, I notice I spent more time on distance from your body as that’s the area I had most problems with.

One of the first things my golf coach taught me was where to position the ball in my stance for taking shots. To non-golfers, this might seem an unimportant part of the game, but all of us who play will realise there are significant differences between ball positions.
