How to choose wedge loft, bounce, and grind

Catch it. Feed it. Play better.

Golf questions that arrive with the bug.
A short starting point for equipment, practice, and enjoying more golf.
What is the golf bug?
It is the moment golf becomes part of your daily thoughts: the next round, the next practice session, and the next small improvement. Golf Onset is for enjoying that healthy enthusiasm and feeding it with useful knowledge.
How do I start playing golf?
Start with a range session, borrowed or rented clubs, and a lesson if you can. Learn basic safety and etiquette before choosing a short course for your first round.
What golf clubs should I get?
Begin with a smaller set of forgiving clubs that cover distinct distances instead of rushing to fill all 14 slots. A useful tee club, fairway wood or hybrid, several irons, wedges, and a putter are enough to build around.
What are all the different golf clubs for?
Drivers and woods cover longer shots, irons handle many approaches, wedges provide shorter control, and the putter rolls the ball on the green. The right bag gives every club a clear job.
Should I use the same golf ball every round?
Using one dependable model makes feel, flight, and short-game reactions more predictable. Choose one that fits your budget well enough that losing it does not ruin the next hole.
Is Golf Onset giving medical advice?
No. Golf fitness content is general educational information, not diagnosis or treatment; consult a qualified professional about pain, injury, medical conditions, or exercise uncertainty.
