The Winston Golf Club

Golf can feel intimidating when you’re just starting out. There’s unfamiliar rules, scoring systems, and a sport that can sometimes look like it’s only for the pros.
What many Albertans don’t realize is that there’s a province-wide organization working behind the scenes to make golf more accessible, fair, and welcoming for everyone.
Alberta Golf supports youth and beginner programs, administers the World Handicap System, and helps ensure consistency across more than 200 courses in the province. That structure makes it easier for new golfers to learn the game, compete fairly, and feel confident wherever they play.
For local clubs like The Winston, this support means clearer standards, better development pathways, and stronger connections to the broader golf community.

Buying used golf clubs can get you a great deal, but only if you know what to look for and what to avoid.

Learn how to check the condition of used clubs, including the grooves, grips, and shafts. Don’t always go for the cheapest clubs you can find, and don’t forget to check the serial number.

And remember: buying used means you might not have the opportunity to get properly fitted. To play your best game, consider buying new clubs from a reputable retailer with pros who can analyze your swing and find you a set that caters to your needs.

How many irons does your golf club set really need?

The number of irons you carry in your golf bag depends on your personal preferences and club style, but there are a few guidelines it helps to follow. ⛳️

Most players still carry 6–7 irons, gapped 10–15 yards apart to cover a range of distances, but today’s setups have evolved beyond the traditional 3–PW combo.

New club options like hybrids and utility irons are designed for more flexibility across different kinds of shots.

A proper club fitting is a key component to perfecting your set-up.

It helps tailor your set to your swing, so every club has a purpose and every yard is accounted for.
