If you’re a high-handicap golfer, or you’re new to the game, the type of clubs that you play with are going to be a lot different to the ones used by a single figure golfer/scratch player – or at least they should be.
To help give you an idea of what type of clubs you should be playing – as well as a few suggestions of models you might want to try – here’s a quick guide for the 10-, 20- and 30-handicap player.
