Golf Equipment

“Keep your sense of humor. There’s enought stress in the rest of your life not to let bad shots ruin a game your supposed to enjoy.”

Hello everyone ! In this post, I am going to talk about the different types of equipment in golf. I really hope you will be unbeatable after reading this. 🙂

The club is used to hit the golf ball. Each club is composed of a “shaft“, a “grip” where the golfer will put his hands and a “head” which will be in contact with the ball.

Initially, they are divided into three categories:

Wood: They are so called because at the beginning, they had a head made of wood. However, nowday their heads are made of titanium or composite materials. They are used to make long distances on the fairway.
Irons: Their heads are made of steel and have varying lofts.
Putter: It is used to propel the ball over short distances mainly on the green.

Distances with club

In the same category of club (wood, iron), the distances covered by the ball are scaled from 10 metres to 10 metres.

These distances are commun for the average players but for the professional it is highter. As an exemple, a professional golfer can shot with his driver until 300 meters.
