Allison asked:


He’s a funny kid, got into golf recently, like really into it.
I know nothing about the sport.
I am considering buying him like… golf balls? gloves for golfing?
Any other ideas?
my budget is around $25 dollars for him, maybe a little over. Any help or knowledge about affordable golf equipment would be awesome.

What if golfers had to use only the same golf clubs and golf balls?

First off
1)I understand the businesses that will go bankrupt if the golfers were only restricted to certain golf clubs and golfballs (like everybody can only use a “regular” golf ball, nothing fancy and “aerodynamic” [sorry if I misspelled it] and that also goes to the same as the golf clubs, only one driver, chipper, putter, etc.). Many different business were started to provide different types of golf clubs and golf balls.
2) I also understand that this will take away alot of the “consumers” or regular people that play. Many people who enjoy the sport would be discouraged and not bother to play, making many golf ranges lose business because of the lack of consumers.

but I’m really curious if this sort of “experiment” would show a big amount of evidence that the golf clubs/golf balls play a HUGE part of the golfers games. I feel that people who go into golfing professionally should be able to play golf without fancy equipment.

Please do not insult this to get 2 points.
ah…I didn’t know that the PGA people have guidelines about equipment…(My grandfather and uncle golf but I don’t know too much about PGA guidelines and stuff.) I’ve been reading their golfing magazines to get better insight also. Thanks for answering!!
