If you are new to the game of golf, mastering which club to use for which shot can be a little confusing. With the choice of fourteen clubs to use there will be some shots which need to be hit with one particular club for the best result whereas there will be some that can be hit with several types of clubs. Here is a general look at what club should be used in a particular situation.
Short play
The club will depend on whether you are pitching or chipping from the green. If you are chipping, the longer the club the further the chip will go and if the course is wet settle for a longer club than you would select if the course were dry.
Tee shots
With the golfer having good approximation to the hole and most will be hit with the longest iron which would generally be the driver. But this may not be the ideal club for hitting longer holes since the longest clubs are also the least accurate. Select a shorter more accurate club.
The rough
The sand and pitch wedge are ideal to hit a short play from longer grass and for longer distances use the 7 wood.
