a wood, a putter and an iron
The golf club is shaped like an "L" and consists of a thin rod about three feet long (along the segment of L), which is contested in top with both hands, and a large head a few centimeters (short segment), which is the part that hits the ball.
To hit the ball the player stands up in front of it, lift the stick up to shoulder more or less, depending on how hard he wants to give the shot (up to behind your head for more powerful shots) and then runs with his arms in a circular motion called swing. Frequently before the shot itself, the player makes a or more swing through the test with the head of the bat near the ball without hitting him (if he accidentally moves a penalty stroke except that the starting area).
Each player can use a maximum of 14 clubs with different characteristics to suit different types of colpi.I clubs are divided into two main groups: the "tools" and "woods" (so called because originally were made of wood ). The first allows more precise and pull shots are numerous (a total of nine, but usually if they use only seven), the latter however, are fewer in number (usually two). There are also some special sticks:
- the driver is the stick that allows the longest shots in absolute, and is generally used to pull the first shot of each hole, except in the case of very short par 3 holes. E 'classified as wood. Its shape allows it only with a tee from the ground because the ball would be impossible to achieve an 'adequate height of flight, that do have the wood 3 and 5. It is shaped like a normal wood, except that the head is much larger
- the putter head is a flat stick, which is used to roll the ball toward the hole after reaching the green.
- the pitching wedge is an iron, is the No. 10 on the scale of
irons - the sand wedge (or 56 °) is a stick from the wedge-shaped head, which is used when the ball fell in the sand. And 'as if it were the' eleventh iron.
addition there are also auxiliary poles:
- hybrids are clubs that exist only for a short time and how the form looks like a iron to a wood. We need to replace the irons pulling further away (long irons: 1-2-3) as they are more difficult to use
- Gap Wedge (or 54 °) is a stick that acts as a "middle way" between the pitching wedge and sand wedge between these two clubs since c 'is a significant difference in average distance. It is shaped like an iron.
- the Lob Wedge (or 60 °) is a stick from head wedge shaped much like the Sand Wedge, this stick is ideal for out of the sand, only difference with the 'eleventh iron is to allow an average distance shots from near bottom to allow more accurate.
Charter of the distances
Every golfer usually carries around fourteen clubs each, the number of clubs is so high because each of them allows different strokes and different distances. Below follows a map with the average distances for each club, and these data are not stable but only indicative.
