Why You Should Buy Second Hand Golf Clubs
Have you decided to give golf a try? It’s not only one of the most relaxing sports, it provides a gentler way to exercise your arm and leg muscles. But like most sports, there is a financial investment involved. When you begin, you can rent golf clubs and a trolley from your favourite local golf course.
In the beginning this will be fine. But as you practice and improve your game, you’ll be tempted to buy your own set of golf clubs and a golf trolley to help you transport them around the course.
Why You Should Buy Used Golf Clubs
With a quick search you’ll quickly find thousands of options for second hand golf clubs for sale. This may be confusing, but also addresses the issue of trying out an activity first, before committing to buying an expensive set of brand new golf clubs. 2nd hand golf clubs is your next best solution. Most secondhand golf clubs will look new-to-you, as the buyer changed their mind and never used them.
You can buy your set of secondhand golf clubs now, and when you decide you love playing golf and will do it regularly, then you can move up to a brand new set, or you can add more golf clubs to your golf kit.

Where Do I Find Second Hand Ladies’ Golf Clubs?
Golfing is gaining in popularity for women too. It offers a chance to get outside into the sunshine, and to work muscles that may have been sitting for too long during the day. Best of all, the entire family can get out to play a game or too. But women also need golf clubs. They can use the men’s clubs, but may find they’re a bit too bulky or heavy. They do make women’s golf clubs, but like men’s, they can be pricey when purchased new.
The best option is to search for second hand ladies’ golf clubs. Most will look brand new so no one will ever know that they’re not! You can also find ladies’ golf clubs on our site.
What Should I Look for in 2nd Hand Golf Clubs?
Besides buying from a reputable seller, you should also check many of the features. The last thing you want is to receive a set of clubs that are duct-taped together and that will fall apart on first use. The first feature should be their condition. How old are the clubs? And if they’re old, how often were they used? Check the photos that the seller has posted so you can zoom in and look at dents or scratches. If you need to see more photos, then reach out to the seller to ask.
Used golf clubs may also come with a rating system of 1 to 10. A 10 will be a brand new club which is still in its packaging. Fair condition is fine if you’re learning, but if you’re serious about the game, seek a 7 or higher.
If the price is low, find out why. Someone may be desperate to make a few pounds, but the golf clubs may be in rough shape too. You may have to spend another $50 to $100 in having the clubs re-gripped. You’ll have to decide if you’re willing to do that.
You’ll also be seeking a specific fit. Read the specs to see if they’ll fit your height. You should know that while you can’t get used clubs to custom fit you, that they may have been custom fitted to their previous owner. And that could mean they’re not right for you. The listing should include the shaft type and length. Read the listing to check for lie angles, such as upright or flat irons.
Generally, you’ll need several different clubs depending on what type of shot you’re making on the green. This is why you should be searching for a set of second hand golf clubs for sale, and not just one or two.
But these specs aren’t any good unless you know how they work with you. If you’ve been fitted with golf clubs before, then you should already have a list. If you’ve rented a set of clubs from the local golf course, make note of the ones that work perfectly for you. If you currently have no idea, set a golf course booking and then rent a set of golf clubs to try out.
See if the golf clubs come with any other accessories. If they’re included that’s great. Or, you can find second hand golf accessories too.
Check the Authenticity of the Golf Clubs
Like every other branded item out there, counterfeit golf clubs are also a problem. Be sure that the photograph of a potential purchase shows the logo. Then do your research to ensure it’s exactly the same. If it’s a sticker, run fast!
Re-gripping Second Hand Gold Clubs
The grip of a golf club is where you actually hold the golf club for a good swing. When you buy a used set of clubs, you might have to do a re-grip of them. This is also the best way to make your new set of used golf clubs feel and look like new again.Check out our golf simulators info here
