Thinking about starting golf but not sure where to begin?Here are three essential tips every beginner should know to start their golf journey with confidence. We’ll also show you how you can easily get started at JOIN Simulation Golf Akasaka — even with no equipment!

① Understand the Types of Golf Clubs and Their Uses

There are several types of golf clubs, each designed for a specific purpose.For starters, it helps to learn about the three main categories:

• Driver (1W): Used for tee shots. It provides maximum distance but requires good technique.

• Irons (5I–9I, etc.): Used for mid-range shots. The 7-iron is ideal for beginners.

• Putter: Used on the green to roll the ball into the hole. Focus and precision are key.

▶︎ Beginner Tip: Start with just three clubs — a 7-iron, pitching wedge, and putter. These are great for practicing the basics.

At JOIN, we offer a wide range of free rental clubs, so you can simply walk in and start learning hands-on — no need to bring your own equipment.
