About Golf Shops

Nicky Pilkington asked:


Golf is a great sport enjoyed by millions of people around the world. It is also one of the world’s most difficult sports, and for people with a tendency to become frustrated when things don’t go how they wanted them to, golf may not be the right sport for you.

If you’ve never played golf before, or played only crazy golf or only played on a small sized pitch and putt course with a seven iron and a putter, a game of golf on a full sized course is a different ball game. Not only do you require more golf clubs, but you require more patience, and also more energy to take you around the full course.

So if you’re going to play on a full sized golf course and don’t have any clubs, what do you do, you can either:

A: Go to your local golf shop, purchase the most expensive clubs you can find and when you find out you can’t play like Tiger Woods with them wish you’d have bought some cheaper ones.

B: Rent some clubs or borrow some from a friend.

C: Buy some reasonably priced used golf equipment from somewhere.

If you have never played golf before and are not sure you’ll like it, it is recommended that you borrow a set of clubs from a trusting friend who will need much reassurance they will come back in one piece. If however you have played golf before and you like the game, you may wish to consider purchasing some used golf equipment.

Simply because you are playing on a full sized golf course, this doesn’t mean you need the full amount of clubs. For beginners, a 3 or 5 woods, a 3 iron, 5 iron, 7 iron, sand wedge and a putter should suffice. As for other equipment a second hand golf club bag with a shoulder strap, or if you prefer, a set of wheels will be ideal for a days golfing.

When purchasing second-hand golf clubs it is important that the face of the clubs don’t have many dents and deep scratches in them as this can affect the course of the ball. Also be sure to check close to the grip and the head of the club on the shaft to ensure there are no signs of rusting, and finally, look down the clubs like a telescope and twist them to ensure they aren’t bent or warped.

Mijas Los Lagos Golf on the Costa del Sol Golf is being constantly upgraded and refurbished to match modern day standards and is a very good mixture of holes to be enjoyed by all golfers whatever their handicap.

It is one of the longest (6404 mts in length) and flattest golf courses on the Costa del Sol as well as being spacious with few obstructions and practically no rough.

Exotic Araucalia Pines and perfumed Jacaranda line the fairways at Los Lagos all of which add to the charm of the course and make it a “must play” course for thousand’s of returning golfers.

With two of the busiest and most popular golf courses on the Costa del Sol Golf, Mijas Golf Club is definitely doing something right.

Both 18 hole Mijas courses were designed by Robert Trent Jones in the mid 70s. and golfers will enjoy Trent Jones’s creation with its gentle, undulating fairways and the general impression of wide open space.

It appears that the legendary designer wanted to create a course that was suitable for amateurs but, at the same time, he has also managed to present them with a challenge.

Mijas Los Lagos Golf is an ideal golf course for big hitters, but it also demands great concentration on the part of the player as well as short shots.

Mijas Los Olivos Golf has many distinguishing features that set it apart from Mijas Los Largos Golf, mainly it’s abundance of trees hence the name, and its smaller size as well as fewer water hazards.

The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended. Although both are the work of the same designer, “Trent Jones” there is no doubt there are interesting contrasts between the two courses.

If Mijas Los Lagos Golf is based on water hazards and sand, then Mijas Los Olivos Golf is strategic, the fairways are narrow and tree lined and greens are elevated.

Both course’s provide unique challenges and are ideal holiday golf courses.

Mijas Los Olivos Golf course was constructed originally between 1983-1984, although it has recently been totally refurbished (2000-2001) and is a completely different course to its watery counterpart.

The refurbishing program has made the course so much more picturesque, particularly around the lake areas and is characterised by the undulating fairways, twisted bunkers, small greens and trees that are at the least obstructive.

Mijas los Olivos Golf is considered to be the most challenging of the two course’s and is a very good test of golf for all handicaps. Again, there is an excellent mixture of holes to be enjoyed, some of which have been altered or rebuilt with new tees and bunkers.

A well stocked golf shop is on site offering all types of equipment and accessories and is situated in the main building next to the Golf Reception

You have decided that your golf game is off, you know some of the problems you are having while you know there must be others and you just don’t know what you should do.

Today there are many books on golf in the bookstores as this is a popular pastime whether it is a hobby or you are a more serious golfer; some stores even carry videos that you can purchase.

A simple Internet search will find you thousands of websites, but to be more specific you can type your problem into the search engine and it will bring up many websites, that will have articles on all types of problems that golfers have and how to correct them, and there are websites by professionals where they sell videos and give online lessons. There are websites that have e-books about golf and problems that you can correct, and there are also message boards were you could talk with other golfers.

Today as the Internet is so much a part of our lives that there are website where you can find golf lessons online that you can use at your own pace as life can be hectic and you may not have the free time to participate on a regular bases.

If you are a serious golfer there are golf instructors that you can hire to help you with your game, these people can usually be found at the golf course that you regularly use and if there are none at this location they will may be able to recommend an instructor. Should this not provide any results you can look in your local phone book, do a simple search on the Internet, or talk to your local golf shop they will certainly have access to names and phone numbers of instructors. While hiring an instructor will not be cheap, they will be capable of helping you correct whatever problem you may be having with your game and this will relieve any anxiety that you have when you hit the golf course.

That is the reason after all that you have taken up golfing is to relax and be free of stress from your daily life, so in one way this instructor while charging a fee will also be providing you with the education to have a stress free golf game. Once your game’s had all the help it needs it’ll be time to book your golf break. One of the most popular destinations is Bidford Grange and a couple of other popular venues are Foxhills Golf Club and Matfen Hall.
