Golf Equipment for the Course

Fourteen clubs at most: putting together your bag

The rules limit the bag content to fourteen clubs during a game. The driver and fairway woods are used for long distances from the tee and the fairway; hybrids, which sit between woods and irons, replace the long irons, which are harder to hit. The numbered irons cover intermediate distances, with each number affecting the angle of the face and thus the height of the ball flight, followed by wedges, which are very open and used for approaches and bunker exits. The putter rolls the ball on the green. A beginner starts with a half set and fills their bag as their game improves.

The selection

Golf is organised by type:

• Clubs.
• Bags.
• Trolleys.
• Shoes.
• Clothing.
• Accessories, gloves, balls and caps.
• Kids.

Glove and golf shoes: grip and traction

The golf glove is worn on the hand at the top of the grip, the left hand for a right-hander: it prevents the club from twisting in the hand at impact. The Callaway Weather Spann gloves come in both right and left-handed versions, and the Srixon All Weather maintains its grip in the rain. Spiked shoes, like the Puma PWRAdapt or Footjoy, provide traction on wet, sloped grass, while spikeless models, such as the Under Armour Surge, with molded studs in the sole, are suitable for dry courses and can be worn at the clubhouse. A waterproof upper keeps feet dry in the morning dew.

Other sports

The other sports on the site, handball, basketball, badminton, padel, fitness, gymnastics, athletics, swimming, climbing, camping, rollerblading and skateboarding, are all brought together on the other sports page.

Equipping a junior golfer

A junior club should be chosen based on the child's height rather than their age: if it's too long, it will distort their posture and weigh down the swing. Junior ranges are organised by height increments, with light, flexible shafts that help lift the ball. For transporting equipment, a trolley bag like the JuCad Junior prevents the child from having to carry their gear around the course. Kids' clothing follows adult styles: polo shirts with collars, from Under Armour or Puma, Under Armour Showdown trousers or adidas Ultimate pants, Callaway or Puma caps, and a waterproof jacket from Abacus for rainy rounds.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24h are prepared and sent out in 24 hours. The highlights of the year are ordered in a consistent way: Black Friday in late autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school period.

Frequently asked questions

What is the name of the golf club?

It’s called a golf club, not a stick. The term encompasses various types, woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, and putters, each with a specific face angle and length suited to a playing distance.

What shaft flexibility should I choose?

It depends on the swing speed: a slow swing benefits from a flexible shaft, which helps lift the ball, while a fast swing requires a stiff shaft to control the trajectory. A regular shaft is suitable for most amateurs.

What golf ball is best for beginners?

A two-piece ball, durable and inexpensive, rolls far and forgives off-centre hits. Multi-layered balls give more spin around the green and are reserved for regular players who lose them less often.

Trolley or carry bag on the course?

A carry bag, lightweight and equipped with stands, is suitable for nine holes and the practice range. On an eighteen-hole course, a trolley eases back strain and allows for carrying a more complete bag, water, and a rain jacket.

What are the dress code rules on a golf course?

A collared top, chinos or shorts, and golf shoes are expected on most courses. Jeans and non-collared t-shirts are often banned: the club’s internal regulations take precedence.
