A entire bag filled with golf clubs, is that not too many golf clubs for one golf game? The answer is in fact no, the reason there are so many different golf clubs is that each golf club is specifically developed to play a specific shot and each club will at least be used one time through out an 18 hole golf course. Here is a slight introduction to all the golf clubs.

A set of golf clubs are made up of woods, irons and putters. That is also generally in the order that they will be played in. The wood being the more powerful golf club hence it is used to tee off from the start as the ball will travel the greatest distance when struck well by the wood golf club.

Once the golf ball has been teed off it will then be between the tee and the green, this will then be time to start using your irons. Your irons are numbered according to the degree angle of the golf club blade. The lower the number on the golf club the further you intend the golf ball to travel. This is typically worked out depending on the distance you are away from the hole.

In golf there is always a time that you will become a bit distracted and land up hitting the ball into the rough or the sand bunker. In these instances you have 2 very specific iron golf clubs that will assist you getting your ball back on track so that you can finish off the hole. These 2 golf clubs are the pitching wedge and the sand wedge. Once the ball is clear from all the obstacles you will by now have your ball on the green which you will putt. This is the final and most important step to finish the hole.

Putting is very under estimated by several golfers, but is can mean the difference between a win and a loose. When putting, you should always aim to stroke the ball and not hit the ball. It ought to be a nicely placed gentle stroke with the right amount of force behind depending on the distance from the hole and the greens landscape.

There are many golf ranges around which is a perfect place to perfect each golf clubs swing. With a lot of practice and perseverance you can become a brilliant golfer. Remember every famous golfer had to start somewhere and that was from a dream. Good luck.
