Pick out different brands of clubs Choose the right shaft flex Hit 10 golf balls per club Narrow down your selection Hit more golf balls Choose the brand that feels best

When first learning how to play golf, it’s important to learn how to hit the ball before going out and playing a round at a golf course. No one enjoys slow play, therefore you must hit at the range and get a feel for how you hit the ball.
