Besides the obvious difference that the set has half the amount of golf clubs, half sets are ideal for beginners as they give you every club you need to get around the course, without giving you so much choice that you confuse yourself. Half sets normally consist of a driver, hybrid, two irons, one or two wedges and a putter. This is an excellent way for golfers to get an idea of what a club will look and feel like without them having to invest too much money. Half sets are also a great choice for any golfer who’s playing a nine-hole course.
