Picture the scene: You've been inspired by Rory McIlroy winning the Grand Slam, had a few hits on the driving range and have decided that golf is definitely the sport for you. But how do you build a bag of clubs that’s both comfortably affordable and at least somewhat suited to your game? Even if you steer clear of the premium brands played out on tour, building a bag of clubs will still cost a decent chunk of change.
For those golfers who have been playing for a while, this might be less of a barrier, because they’re already on the ‘equipment ladder’. However, what are the best buying options for those new to the game, keen to avoid making any expensive equipment mistakes right at the start of their golfing journey?

One of the most popular options is the second-hand golf market, where you can make some very tidy savings by choosing from a wide selection of used clubs. The benefits of buying second hand golf equipment are obvious and, even though it’s not quite the same as purchasing brand-new gear, you can still equip yourself with top-quality clubs.
Recently, golfclubs4cash, Europe’s largest retailer of second-hand golf equipment, has made this an even more attractive option with its new feature, Build A Bag. Quite simply, it allows you to create your own set of golf clubs one step at a time and without breaking the bank.

For example, you might just have started to play nine holes on a short course - in which case you might be comfortable with a half set of irons and a putter. With this feature, you can refine your bag gradually as you start to play more and visit other courses, by which time you’ll have a better understanding of your swing and the specific clubs that you require.
This is one of the major benefits of the Build A Bag feature - it offers the flexibility to select the irons you need one at a time. It might be that after several weeks or months, you identify the need for an extra wedge to give you more options around the green, or you feel a hybrid might be more playable compared to one of your long irons.

Now, let’s say you’ve had a lesson or two or had some advice from a PGA professional and you have a good idea of what equipment will be suitable for you.
One of the other top features of Build A Bag is that you can easily find a suitable loft, shaft flex, and lie angle using the search bar, which allows you to find the perfect club for your swing and preferences. If you're not sure of what you need, the friendly staff at golfclubs4cash are on hand to provide advice either in store or over the phone.

We’ve been through the process, and we built ourselves a decent bag of clubs for well under £400. How does this sound? A TaylorMade Tour Burner (8.5°) driver, Adams Speedline fairway wood (15°), Ping G5 hybrid (19°), Callaway Tour Authentic X-Prototype irons (4-PW), and a Yes! C-Groove Tracy II putter. Some cracking clubs with tour pedigree for less than the price of today's premium drivers from the big name brands.

There might not be a specific Build A Bag discount on offer as you add more clubs but don't forget that golfclubs4cash runs regular promotions throughout the year to help golfers save even more money. We were able to get 10 percent off the Callaway irons and so, if you’re smart and you buy at the right times, you can save yourself even more money.
There’s definitely a lot to like about the Build A Bag feature, especially how easy the process is and the way it allows you to add the clubs you want in different areas of the bag. What’s more, you can even grab yourself a very good golf bag from golfclubs4cash to store them in, as well as some balls to hit with them!
