Learn how to get started in golf with Golf 5.

People are turning their attention outside, and liberating outdoor sports are attracting attention these days. Many people are taking up golf for the first time. In the midst of all this, "Golf 5 for beginners only" was opened at Shinjuku Flags at the end of August, creating an environment where even beginners can easily start playing golf. In this issue, we welcome Yuuki Mihara, a TV personality with seven years of golf experience, as our navigator, and he takes us on a tour of the store with "that guy" who walks on two legs and says he has recently become interested in golf. We also asked Mr. "Golf5" to answer some questions that beginners may not be able to ask themselves.

Q.3 How do I choose the right golf clubs?

There is also a corner in the store where you can try out a putter.

I have learned that the entry hurdle is surprisingly low, but to be honest, I don't know if the clubs are good or bad for a layman. What should I do?

Golf 5:For example.Each club has its own characteristics, just as the shape of the head of a putter is divided into pin type, L-shaped type, T-shaped type, and mallet type.The criteria for good or bad depends on whether it is right for you and how you want to use it, so feel free to try it out and consult with us.

Mr. Mihara tried out a "two-ball" type putter. The unique head shape stabilizes the stroke and makes it easier for the center of gravity of the ball and the center of gravity of the putter to hit straight, making it a popular series.

How do you feel about the putter you chose?

Mihara:It's very easy to see the trajectory of the ball, and it's very stable, so I make fewer mistakes, and it's very easy to hit. I've been wanting to get this two-ball type putter, so I'm glad I got to try it out.

Do you think this two-ball type is suitable for beginners?

Mihara:No, even the best players use putters like this that make it easy to see the direction of travel. It is said that "golf is determined by the putter" , so the choice of putter is very important.
