Golf Equipment

Golf Equipment can include so many different things, from gloves, to spikes for shoes to tees. Major changes in equipment since the 19th century have been better mowers, especially for the greens. When on the green, the ball may be picked up to be cleaned or if it is in the way of an opponent's putting line; its position must then be marked using a ball marker (usually a flat, round piece of plastic or metal, generally a coin).

Golf Equipment also includes flags, known as the "pin" to show the position of the hole to players when they are too far away from the hole to see it clearly. Golfers also often wear gloves that help grip the club and prevent blistering. Normally only one glove is worn, and it is on the left hand for a right handed player, or the right hand for a left-handed player.

Many golfers wear special shoes with spikes attached to the soles. These can be made of metal or plastic (plastic spikes are also known as "soft spikes") designed to increase traction thus helping the player to keep his/her balance during the swing, on greens, or in wet conditions. This is a major piece of Golf Equipment.
