Hi all,
This is my first post since joining, so I'm sorry if this topic has been brought up many times before/is in the wrong section/or just too boring to answer! Also, I must apologise in advance for my complete lack of knowledge.
Anyway, I've just joined my first proper golf club and I am keen to get my first handicap and start seeing some improvements in my game this year.
I do have some lessons lined up in the next couple of weeks, which I'm sure will help with this, but I was wondering what sort of clubs I should be using as a novice, or whether it doesn't really matter at this stage?
In my bag is: Callaway X2 Hot driver, Wilson deep red hybrid, set of Nike VRs 4-PW, 56 degree wedge and Wilson Infinite putter.
I play okay for a novice I think, some good and some bad shots. I normally finish the round in the higher 90s on average (around the 24-28+ mark and some bad days well over that).
The whole point of this post is to see if there's anything I can do to help improve my game. I've obviously got the coaching coming up, but will playing regularly also help bring down my score? And is there any specific clubs that would help a novice bring it down? And is there anything missing from my bag that would help me?
Thanks if you've managed to keep reading this far.
