FINDING YOUR FIT

Before you choose your gear.

Begin with how you play, what you need and what feels comfortable.

Start with your own needs

Think about how often you expect to play, what you already have and which parts of your setup you want to change. A clear wish list makes it easier to separate useful additions from things you can leave for later.

Set a comfortable budget

Tell the person helping you what you’d like to spend. You can build a setup gradually instead of trying to buy everything at once. Prioritise the essentials for the way you plan to play.

Ask about fit and feel

For clubs, ask about the available specifications and whether you can try them or arrange a fitting. For clothing and footwear, check sizing and comfort, as well as the seller’s exchange arrangements before you decide.

Bring your questions

You don’t need to arrive with a model number. Tell us what you’re looking for, what you already use and what you’d like to improve about your setup. We’ll help you explore the options, including special orders.
