Hey ladies! I’m still pretty new to golf and honestly a bit overwhelmed with all the gear out there 😅 If you were starting over, what would you say are the absolute essentials? Right now I only have: • A basic set of clubs • A glove Do I really need things like: • Rangefinder? • Special golf shoes? • Different types of balls? Would love to hear what made the biggest difference for you when you started!

For me it was 100% the shoes. I didn’t realize how much slipping affected my swing until I got proper golf shoes. Also I switched to softer golf balls and it helped my distance a bit. I found them by going to https://www.ladygolfersforum.com/golf-gear-guide

Honestly, don’t overcomplicate it at the beginning. What helped me most was: • Comfortable golf shoes (huge difference if you walk the course) • Decent quality golf balls (not the super cheap ones) • A glove that actually fits properly Rangefinder is nice but definitely not necessary early on.

I’d say: 1. Clubs that fit your height 2. Comfortable outfit 3. Confidence 😄 Everything else can come later. But I do love my rangefinder now.
