I have been looking for golf clubs, but can’t seem to find any stores in the DC area that have more than a small number of left-handed clubs. Any ideas?

Here are some stores which I used to go to when I used to live in Alexandria.

-Washington Golf Center-I went to the Shirlington location and it was impressive, well stocked and cheaper prices. It seemed to be a temporary store so I would check out the website and make sure they are open before visiting, it also lists a few other locations in the area.

-Golfdom-Nice selection but prices seemed high (most likely due to the fact its in Tysons Corner)

-Golf Galaxy-There is a location in Rockville.

Other than that Dicks usually has a variety of left handed sets, most are cheaper brands though. I live in the Pittsburgh area now and there is a store called the “Golf Shop” which is a part of Dicks. It has a large selection of about everything but im not sure of any “Golf Shops” down there. I wasnt shopping for left handed clubs at any of the stores I listed but I have to assume at least one of them having what you are looking for.

I want to purchase my first set of golf clubs. I have not been golfing too many times but I am pretty athletic and a quick learner. I am not trying to be a pro but would like to have fun. I usually spend a little more than average on my sporting equipment because usually you can get better quality and if nothing else at least it makes you more confident. I want to spend around $1000.00 on clubs and I am wondering what else I should buy shoes, bag, glove, etc. I would also like to know the basics when it comes to club selection, offset, shaft length, stiffness, etc. Someone who could summerize for me would be great!!!

I am left-handed but play right because it was easier for me to learn that way and club selection is greater. Golfmith has an excellent selection of right and left handed clubs though. They also have a golf simulator that tests your swing-that will help determine what kind of clubs you need. Stiff versus flex, speed rating etc. Even though I am a lady, I have a very fast swing speed of 125+ mph so I need a very stiff graphite shaft so I chose a men's set (Nickent). I find that graphite shafts are more forgiving than steel. I have been playing almost everyday for 3 yrs and my game has changed so much that I am glad I waited to invest more money on clubs until I was able to understand what my needs were better.
