Basics of Golf Equipment

As mentioned earlier, a "set" of golf clubs is restricted to no more than 14 clubs. What constitutes this "set" depends on your preferences.

In general, a "set" will include the following clubs:

• Driver (1 Wood) (More on Drivers)


• Woods: 3, 5 (More on Woods)


• Irons: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (More on Irons)


• Pitching Wedge (PW) and Sand Wedge (SW) (More on Wedges)


• and a Putter (More on Putters).

A good basic descriptions of the above clubs is provided by HERE.

In addition, Hybrid Clubs are gaining a major following. They combine both a wood and iron design and are some of the most forgiving and easiest clubs to hit to date.
