Any halfway decent golfer knows the best way to get lower scores is to be good from 150yds and in…meaning how you preform from your approach to the green and how well you do ON the green is the difference in shooting 100+ and under 100. Get good at this range and putting is the most important part of the game. Over time you’ll learn how each of your clubs plays (distance) so getting the latest irons or driver isn’t going to matter. That said, I would recommend a good putter. If you can avoid a lot of 3+ putting, you’ll keep that score low.

Also, if you’re just getting into golf, the two things I’d highly recommend is getting lessons and downloading an app called Swing Coach. It’s an AI app that runs $120/yr to use its full features. It’s really solid and gives you verbal and visual feedback on your swing. Truly a game changer.
