Intro/Background

• LIke any other sport, buying gear for golf can be pretty specialized. Getting the right gear can help you play better and enjoy the game more, and not look like a beginner or a cheapo. I'd like this to appeal to people who might only play once or twice a year for work/family obligations as well as people who already play and would like to upgrade what they have.

Ideas for the paper

• How to buy golf gear to suit your skill level, and so you don't look like a doofus on the course
• Start with an overview piece about golf gear, what you need, what the pitfalls are
• Follow up with four more specific pieces: How to Buy Clubs, How to Buy Balls, How to Buy Accessories (golf bag, sunglasses, gloves, other ancillary items), How to Buy Apparel/Shoes.

OR

the four follow-up pieces can be:

1: How to buy clubs (New)

2. How to buy clubs (Used)

3: How to buy accessories (balls, shoes, bag, glove, sunglasses)

4: How to buy a better game (lessons, range memberships, practicing)

I like the latter, as how to buy clubs is the biggest deal. This splits it up into two days, and two differing strategies.
