The post-Masters lull is only boring if you stop paying attention to golf altogether. We've got plenty to talk about!

Aaron Baddeley breaks through with his first win on the PGA Tour, but did Jim Furyk give it away a little? Lots of Tiger Woods news, Phil Mickelson updates, Greg Norman and Annika Sorenstam, changes at Winged Foot, and a little bit about distance once again.

Golf Gods "Chip Shots"
Buying Junior Clubs



In the past few weeks several customers have asked for our opinions about buying Junior's equipment including, do we think it's necessary? While there are no one-size-fits all answer for everyone, there are a few basic guidelines.

1. Skip the hand-me down adult clubs with cut-down shafts. While this can certainly be cost effective, it simply makes the game harder for your youngster to learn.
2. The best way to size is by height. When buying age specific sets, check shaft lengths and compare that to how tall your child is relative to his peers.
3. Putting is a great because there's instant gratification. There's no replacement long-term for having a great feel for getting the ball in the hole.
4. Buy age appropriate goods - which means you need to buy clubs for "this season." Don't expect kids to grow into their clubs.
5. Less is more. A junior player rarely needs a full set of 14 clubs. Up until kindergarten age, a set of four clubs will suffice. After that, add clubs selectively as different skills are mastered.

For more information, check our this Junior Clubs Buying Guide on the Golfgods.com website. Also, here are a couple of our recommended sets: Accu-Length 500 Series and La Jolla Junior Set.
