Golf clubs
Golf clubs are divided into several categories, each with its characteristics, both in terms of the size of the head and the angle of inclination of the club. Their use depends on the distance the ball has to travel but also on the constitution and therefore the properties of the land.
Putters: with a vertical head form. Light, they are designed to roll the ball to the hole.
The Irons: numbered from 1 to 9, their name comes mainly from the fact that their head is made of metal. Their angle of inclination is used to cover more or less long distances (10 m difference between two consecutive numbers).
Woods: their striking heads were initially made of wood (hence their name), and they are also numbered. The most commonly used wood is No. 1. It’s very long sleeve, and the size of its head allows the golfer a tremendous long-distance hit.
The hybrids: their weight and sleeve lengths represent a kind of” intermediary ” between wood and irons.
