OK. Clubs, balls, shoes all sorted? Now comes the tricky part — a little bit of fashion and a whole lot of help.

Once you’ve the basics, you will find that gloves are an important accessory. They are necessary to help you grip the club better and also guard against potential blisters. As long as the glove fits — the rest is easy. Never go for a fashion statement that will be tearing your hands to shreds after six holes — and sometimes cheaper can be better, as they do not forsake look for branding.
