As a beginner, when searching online for golf distance tables, whether for wedge, hybrid, or even your driver, the numbers probably don’t help much. Your shooting is not yet consistent and you may not even know how much each club goes. This is completely normal.
Instead of obsessing the charts at a distance now, what you need is a basic strategy: which club to use in each situation and how to approach them with confidence shooting. This guide is designed to help you pass the basics of what clubs use and when.
Tee
Tee shots can make or spoil your chances for a good result. The goal on the PAR-4S and the PAR-5S is simple: hit the ball as much as you can while keeping it in the game. The farther you get out of your finger, the shorter and the lighter your next hit.
The driver is your best tool for most PAR-4 and PAR-5 shots because it gives you the greatest distance. Many beginners are encouraged not to use the driver because it is more difficult to control. While this is true, at one point you have to learn it and get well in it.
When NO To hit the driver:
Par-3 lobs – You are already close to green.- Water holes, trees or trouble on your usual side – Club down for more control.
- If you are fighting with control that day -A 3-Duri or hybrid can keep you in the game.
By the way
Road road is the place where you will get your purest lies. When you are here, focus on solid contact and move the ball forward to green. Choose a club that gives you confidence, even if it is not longer.
Use one:
- Street wood or hybrid If you are still away
- Mid-Iron (7-9 iron) To access to access
- Short iron or wedge If you are approaching
As you start developing a consistency, note how far your shots are going. Don’t just consider the best shooting you hit; Look at the poor as well as to come up with an average. At first, don’t be fixed for the yard just try to make good swing and hit solid shots.
By rough (away from hole)
Long shots from rough can be difficult, especially if the grass is thick. Your job here is to turn the ball back into the game and move it forward, so don’t try to be a hero. Wait less distance at these shots.
Use one:
- Hybrid or medium iron to help cut grass
- If the rough is really deep, use a wedge and chip out on the highway
- Avoid straight path forests if the lie is too clean
By rough (near the hole)
If you are close to the green but stuck in the harsh, your concentration should be in the attic and control, not in the distance. You want to open the ball up and lower it softly.
Use:
- Wedge Picking, Wedge Gap or Wedge Sand Depending on the distance
- Sometimes a higher club makes it easier to get the ball out of the rough
- The balls in the Greenside Rough tends to roll when they hit the green, so give yourself a room to work with
- Keep short and compact swing for better control
By a bunker of the road
Fairway bunkers are different from the Greenside bunkers. You still want distance but pure contact is the advantage. These shots relate to stable stay and to avoid excavations in the sand. You need to pay attention to the height of the bunker edge as well.
Most street bunkers are lower than the Greenside bunker but the lip can still be restrictive if you are very close to it. Keep your body movement minimal and try to stay over the ball for cleaner contact.
Use one:
- Iron (7 or higher) If the ball is sitting
- AVOID right forests and hybrids – they are hard to hit by sand
By a Greenside bunker
You are close to the green and you have to get the ball quickly and stop it quickly. This is a very beginner shot struggle with it. Your first step to hitting a good here is to make sure you choose the right club. You want to use something with a lot of attic.
Use one:
- Sand wedge (54-58 degrees) flattery
- Open face, target behind the ball, commit to rhythm
By fringe or access
Fringe or access is short grass just outside of green. This is a great place to be, you are close and the goal now is to get the ball in green with minimal risk.
Use:
- Putter if the soil is smooth and flat
- First wedge or short iron if you need a small attic to bring the ball over the green
Always choose the shock that brings less chance for a big mistake.
When you suspect: Additional tips for selecting the club
Even with a plan, you will find yourself insecure about what club to use from time to time. This is normal. Here are some simple tips to help you make a smart choice:
- When in doubt, the club up – Most beginners come out briefly more often than lasting long. Getting one club more and smooth swinging is almost always the best option.
- Play the safest purpose – If a club feels more to hit clean, choose the one in which you are more secure, even if it doesn’t go so far.
- Avoid the purpose of the hero – If you are in trouble, go back to the game. Don’t risk making things worse by trying something advanced.
- Believe in your clubs – If you have a club, always hit well, use whenever you can. Comfort builds confidence and you can expand that confidence in hitting other golf clubs.
- Stick with the same pre-shop routine -To take a moment to breathe and engage in the club you have chosen helps eliminate the suspicions of the last second.
