Golf is not a sport that you want to be under prepared for, you know?  I mean you do not forget your swimsuit if you are a swimmer, you need your glove in baseball, and you have to have your running shoes for a marathon.  Just like those sports require certain accessories, so does golf.  And I love golf accessories for many reasons, some of which are below:

• I am all girl.  Girls just love to accessorize.
• I have a serious addiction to the game of golf so anytime I see something new, I want it.
• Looking cute is just plain fun, and you should look cute when golfing.

It is a new year and I know that people make resolutions and such this time.  My dear friend has resolved to take up the game of golf with her husband.  And because all that is ever on their television direct tv packages is the golf channel.  To get started, she needed all of the equipment and accessories necessary.  That meant we got to go on a shopping trip.  If you are a woman new to the game and are looking for all the essentials, then look no further!

• Golf shoes.  There are many brands of golf shoes out there, so you might have an idea of where to start.  Just know that even though golf is called a gentlemen’s game, your shoes do not have to look like they belong to a gentleman.  Callaway makes some adorable shoes that I would even wear off the course.  Colors and styles have come a long way so don’t be afraid of making a splash.
• Glove.  I type on a keyboard for a living.  I rarely do anything strenuous with my hands and fingers and even still if I tee off without a glove, I will notice blisters starting to form.  Get a glove for your opposite hand to keep your hands blister and callous free.  I love my Footjoy pink glove.  It’s feminine and useful.
• Golf bag.  I have a few golf bags because I am a little bit obsessed.  I like to change up the bag depending on my mood.  Find a bag that is your style and you will love it.  Make sure you have clubs too though!  Starting out golfers will not need a bag full of clubs.  The following clubs are usually in most women’s starting bags:  a driver, a fairway wood, a hybrid, seven iron, nine iron, pitching wedge, and a golfer.

With those essentials, you could be well on your way to achieving great things on the course!
