The Right Clubs for You
December 29th, 2009 by Senior Golfer
A personal recommendation: Selecting the right golf clubs for you.
Selecting the right golf clubs for you is an involved process We are all different and because of our differences we need help. My suggestion is like anything the quality of help will impact the quality of the results. A friend will likely tell you what you need based on limited information, and a golf pro (much better choice) may be motivated by a relationship with a name manufacturer, or worst the markup …………….

Why Good Golf Shoes
