Pro Tips (from the book!)

• Golf clubs are divided into the following types: woods (the driver is considered a wood), hybrids, irons, wedges, and putters.

• Irons have numbers on them which signify how much loft is built into the head. The higher the number, the higher the loft, so higher-numbered irons will go higher and shorter than lower numbered clubs.

• Irons are spaced incrementally by 10-15 yards.

• An optimal starter set can include 10 clubs: a driver, 3-wood, 5-hyrbid, 6-9 irons, pitching wedge, sand wedge, and putter. In time, you can add more clubs or upgrade to a more expensive set.
