  1. Nice article to know about this golf club. I am a beginner at golf and want to be a professional golfer. I have so far learned on basic things on golf and its equipment. One of the most important things in golf is the golf alignment sticks. It helps to take better posture during stroke play. Proper selection of golf alignment stick is very important for practice purpose.
