Golf - clubs

As per our previous blog, there is a specific club for each place of a hole. The woods are used usually for long shots from the tee or any other part where the ball stands and that requires achieving long distances. They are called “woods” because originally they were made from wood, but it is important to notice that nowadays the manufactures use special types of metal as building materials. Secondly, we can find the irons in a set of clubs. Even though they can also be used from the tee (depending on the distance between it and the green), they are basically designed for hitting the ball on the fairway, the rough, or the bunker. It is important to say that typically they are numbered from 3 to 9, then, the majority of the golf players have a PW (pitching wedge) and a SW (sand wedge). These last two irons are employed for very short distances, less than 100 yards. The SW is a special club very useful if someone has to play the ball from the sand. Generally speaking, for both woods and irons, the lowest the number marked on the club, the longest the distance someone could hit the ball. In other words, if you hit the ball with a 5 iron, you might probably hit the ball longer than if you hit the same ball with a 7 iron using the same force and having the same swing. The final component of a golf set is the putter. It is used on the green where precise shots are required. All the clubs have three parts: a grip, a shaft, and a head.
