A Simplified Explanation Of Golf Clubs
If you are not a golfer, that big bag of clubs seems like an awfully hard way to take a walk. Golf courses are scenic locations that provide some of the nicest parks in the country. They contain rolling hills, lakes, ponds, and even small islands. They are a great place to take a walk and enjoy the outdoors.
Golf courses provide some of the most scenic settings available anywhere. No matter where in the country you are chances are the most scenic spot is occupied by a golf course. Just look at some of the courses the pro’s watch on TV, places like Pebble Beach. They have incredible views, gorgeous green grass and gently rolling hills.
All of these natural elements make golf courses some of the most beautiful places on earth. Unfortunately, if you are not a golfer you may never get to see the real beauty of these places. The people that maintain courses do not take too kindly to you just walking around on golf courses. They keep the grass greener than anywhere else so you can hit little white balls on it.
Well if you want to enjoy these scenic locations you will need to learn how to play golf. The first thing you need to know is what are all those clubs for? Couldn’t you just use one stick for the entire course?
Golf clubs are designed to provide you with the best tool for each situation. There are several classes of these clubs. There is what is known as woods. These are the largest of the clubs and were originally made of fine rare wood. These clubs are typically made of titanium or other metals now-a-days. The biggest of these woods is known as a driver. A driver is a wooden (titanium) club that is intended for hitting the ball down the fairway (The area between the tee and the hole).
The bigger the wood the better. However there are regulations that restrict the size of a driver. These clubs cannot exceed an entire head of area of more than 460cc. Some of the best drivers are classed as 460′s. One popular driver is the Taylormade burner. This club is designed to hit the ball as long and straight as possible off the tee.
Taylor made wood clubs are some of the best woods manufactured. These clubs are designed to provide you with increased accuracy off the tee. The better you can hit the ball off the tee the better the rest of your game will typically be.
The smaller of the wood clubs are known as fairway wood. These clubs are meant for hitting the ball from the fairway (the area between the tee and the green). These clubs hit the ball further than the metal clubs known as irons, but serve a similar purpose. Another club you will find in your golf bag is the putter. Chances are you have seen one of these before and possibly used them to play putt-putt.
