The game of golf can be easy, and what an enjoyable game it can be with a correct understanding of the simple facts:

(a) A golf club will only do what the player makes it do.

(b) Each golf club is designed for a specific purpose, and only when it is applied to the ball in its true, natural state will it produce the effect for which it was designed.

(c) Basically, there are only three golf clubs in golf:

1. The golf club driver , shaped so that it drives the ball on a low trajectory and is therefore used for distance shots. I would add golf club woods to this category.

2. The golf club iron , formerly called a lofter, does exactly what the name implies—it lofts or lifts the ball. This golf club is used to place the ball into position in certain spots on the fairway or on the green.

3. The golf club putter , which would be better named a "roller," is so designed that it rolls the ball; therefore, it is the golf club used to accomplish the very purpose of the game—roll the ball into the cup.

But golfers are not limited or restricted to these three golf clubs. Golfers get themselves a set of two or three, more generally four, but sometimes even five, combination of golf club drivers and golf club woods. They carry a set of three or six, most generally a set of eight, golf club irons. They usually add to this outfit a heavy weighted golf club to get the ball out of deep grass or sand traps. And, the above golf clubs, along with a golf club putter, generally constitute the set of 14 golf clubs that a golfer is permitted to use in tournament play.

Now, having such an outfit is a perfect waste of material unless each and every golf club is swung in the same way so that the various differences in the shapes of the golf clubs can each perform their objectives. In other words, golf is an easy game to play, because the player has a specific golf club club or tool for each shot or effect that is desired. All he has to do is to learn the one basic swing and apply it to each golf club.

I see no need to invest in name-brand golf clubs and the name-brand price that goes with it. Why not get the same result with discount golf clubs, or clone golf clubs and discount & clone golf equipment and save money for the rounds of golf you will be playing. A golf club set with custom golf clubs in your golf bag will really psych out your playing partners, especially when you hit the fairways and greens and hole those long putts! At these prices, you can get your own golf gift or drop hints for what you want for a golf gift.
