Beginner Golf Clubs for Girls

Light head and flexible shaft: what helps a beginner

A young beginner doesn't have the swing speed of an adult: too heavy or too stiff clubs prevent her from getting the ball airborne. Junior clubs compensate with lighter heads, very flexible graphite shafts that whip at impact, and thinner grips, suited for small hands. The loft also matters: the shorter the player, the more the driver must be open, at least fifteen degrees, to allow the ball to rise effortlessly. Cut-down adult clubs should be avoided: shortened, they become stiffer and poorly balanced.

The full range

There are also girls' clubs available:

• Club Sets.
• Iron Sets.
• Drivers.
• Fairway Woods.
• Hybrids.
• Single Irons.
• Putters.
• Sand Wedges.

All the clubs are gathered on the girls' clubs page.

Five to seven clubs: the composition of a first bag

A half-set is more than enough to learn: the rules allow for fourteen clubs, but a beginner only needs a handful. You should have a very open wood for tee shots, one hybrid, which is easier to play than a long iron due to its wide head, two or three odd-numbered irons for mid-range play, a sand wedge for bunkers and approaches, and a putter. Junior sets often bring this collection together with a lightweight bag, easy enough for her to carry alone over nine holes. Fewer clubs also means less hesitation when choosing a shot.

Measuring the player to choose club length

The right length depends on the player's height, with shoes on, not on her age: two ten-year-old girls can have a height difference of twenty centimetres. Manufacturers publish charts by height range; you refer to those and then check that the sole of the club rests flat on the ground, with arms relaxed. You should anticipate a growth of a maximum of one size, as a club that's too long causes a loss of control and discouragement. A junior set generally needs to be renewed every two to three years, and golf schools track progress with the federation's Flags.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The key times of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday in late autumn, the holiday season, winter sales, French Days in spring, then summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

Which golf bag should a girl starting out choose?

A lightweight, double-strap bag that can be easily carried on the back and stands on its own on the course. A few compartments are enough for a half-set, and a bag that matches the clubs often boosts the desire to play.

At what age can a girl start playing golf?

There is no set age: many golf schools welcome children from primary school with fun workshops. Manufacturers' charts offer clubs suitable for children about one metre tall.

What putter length is suitable for a young female golfer?

In position, with arms relaxed, the top of the grip should be at wrist height. A putter that's too long requires her to stand up straight and misaligns her eyes with the line, whereas a wide and stable head helps keep the ball on its path.

Are girls' clubs different from boys' clubs?

The design is the same: light heads, flexible shafts, and thin grips, chosen according to height. Girls' ranges stand out mostly by their colours and matching bags, which appeal to young female players.

Should a left-handed female golfer play with left-handed clubs?

Not necessarily: you observe her natural stance by having her hit a few balls. If she spontaneously places her left hand lower on the grip, then left-handed clubs are a must; otherwise, she can play right-handed without difficulty.
