- New or Used. Do you want to buy brand new golf clubs or used clubs? Is the game going to be something you do for fun or for sport? If you intent to play it for fun or as a hobby, then you may be better off buying used clubs as they are less expensive and easier to replace later on.

Club fitters can adjust the clubs from the length, and adjusting the angle of the club. They can be quite expensive; however it is a good investment when you intend to play a serious game of golf.
- Test your golf clubs. Take them to a driving range so that you can get used to your new clubs. Once you have done so, you are ready to test the clubs in a course. Remember that if you are not satisfied with the clubs, you can still take them back to the fitters to have them readjusted.
