Putter

The putter’s job is merely to send the ball rolling. You do not need to employ as much strength here. Simple hit the ball to have it roll perpendicular to the hole. Simply put, the job of a putter is to roll the ball at a short distance.

Iron

The weight is an issue here, although the iron has the same function as the wood with respect to reach but because of the different characteristics of players, the iron has more diversity of use as compared to the wood. The iron can bring the ball as far as the wood but the iron likewise has the function of arcing the plight of the ball.

Wood

As mentioned the function of the wood is to bring the ball as far as possible. Thus, the club head of the wood is the biggest. Its main function is to bring the ball far, but the swing or the stroke may determine the direction of the ball.

Wedge

Mostly wedges are made of iron; one of its major functions is to play the ball in water or sand hazard. Again, there are many shapes of the wedge head; this is because each head may have a different function than the other.

Driver

The driver is mostly made of wood; the popular use of the driver is on the tee. You may find it difficult to use the driver on the tee but you may practice your swing and later on, you will be comfortable.

Of course, because different players have their different comfortable clubs, you may therefore need to recognize which one is yours and practice that particular club as much as you can.

The golf club may help you improve your game. It is therefore important that you are comfortable with your golf club and thus practice as much as you can. This is the only way to improve your game and your enjoyment in this strategic game.

Finally, yes, the choice of club is important but if you do not practice your swing on and off the green, it may be hard for you to lower your score and improve your handicap.

This game is not physically draining but it is strategic, it may help therefore that you find a mentor and your mentor will be able to guide you well into playing this game.
