Women’s Golf Clubs… My very own set of women’s golf clubs! What a wonderful gift from my loving husband who is also my golf instructor!
How was I to know that this golf gift would simply continue to feed into my new hunger for all things golf?
I love golf.
I devour the Golf for Women magazine trying to absorb all the tips, I watch the Travel channel extol the virtues of certain courses, and on Sunday afternoon you will find me on the couch watching the pros on television… certain that some of their expertise will somehow transfer to my game.
I am a beginning golfer and I am proud of that fact. Ok, I took up the age-old game for a totally selfish reason; to spend more time with my husband.
But a funny thing happened; I fell in love with the game. Something I certainly didn’t expect.
There were seemingly so many clubs in my new set of ladies golf clubs. Some of which I had never used before …like a driver! Of course, initially I was simply terrified of the driver. It is too big, it is too long, and it looks like a torture device.
How will I ever learn to use this thing?
It took the patience of my husband and a few lessons, but I am finally learning to conquer my fear and to use the drive… not well mind you, but at least I can make contact with the golf ball. With their patient explanations, I finally understood that just like my putter, the driver had a specific place in my golf bag.
Since I am a beginning golfer, the current technology of larger heads on the drivers, works well for me. It is very forgiving and while I am so early in the learning phase I am very grateful for this technology. To learn more, I decided to do a little research on some of the various types of golf drivers out there. I figure the more I learn the better off I am.
I learned that the NIKE Women’s Sasquatch is designed with a generous sweet spot and the PING G-5 has the largest head allowed. Others are designed to draw or fade the golf shot. It all depends on your needs.
The choices in women’s golf clubs are vast and it is important when searching for a driver that you research the options and most importantly you get fitted for the correct club.
While my driver is simply the one that came with my set, I can see that there are so many options out there for this specialty club. For right now I am going to just concentrate on learning to use the driver that came with my set of ladies golf clubs.
When I make solid contact with my driver, my golf shot goes higher and longer and just for that moment in time I can close my eyes and imagine that I can hear the crowds on the LPGA tour and they are cheering just for me. It never hurts a girl to dream, does it?
