For those of us that are not golfers, that big bag of clubs seems like an awfully difficult way to take a walk. Golf courses consist of rolling hills and scenic ponds and lakes. They provide some of the nicest scenery around. They would be a nice place to take a walk and enjoy fresh air.
Golf courses provide some of the most scenic settings available anywhere. No matter where in the country you are chances are the most scenic spot is occupied by a golf course. Just look at some of the courses the pro’s watch on TV, places like Pebble Beach. They have incredible views, gorgeous green grass and gently rolling hills.
All of these natural elements make golf courses some of the most beautiful places on earth. Unfortunately, if you are not a golfer you may never get to see the real beauty of these places. The people that maintain courses do not take too kindly to you just walking around on golf courses. They keep the grass greener than anywhere else so you can hit little white balls on it.
If you desire to learn to play golf so that you can enjoy these courses and their scenery then you will need to learn some basics. You may wonder why you couldn’t use just one stick on the entire course.
Golf clubs have been engineered to provide you with the right stick for each situation that you may be confronted with along the course. The largest of the clubs are called woods. These clubs were traditionally made of wood but are now made using metals such as titanium. The largest of the woods are referred to as drivers. A driver is intended for hitting the ball toward the hole from the tee. The longer and straighter you can hit it the better.
The bigger the wood the better. However there are regulations that restrict the size of a driver. These clubs cannot exceed an entire head of area of more than 460cc. Some of the best drivers are classed as 460’s. One popular driver is the Taylormade burner. This club is designed to hit the ball as long and straight as possible off the tee.
Taylor made wood clubs are some of the best woods manufactured. These clubs are designed to provide you with increased accuracy off the tee. The better you can hit the ball off the tee the better the rest of your game will typically be.
The smaller of the wood clubs are known as fairway wood. These clubs are meant for hitting the ball from the fairway (the area between the tee and the green). These clubs hit the ball further than the metal clubs known as irons, but serve a similar purpose. Another club you will find in your golf bag is the putter. Chances are you have seen one of these before and possibly used them to play putt-putt.
