Hitting irons, woods, wedges

Every club has a purpose and a different trajectory. With 14 clubs you will be able to hit any shot possible. Here is my advice on hitting the different type of clubs.

Woods
  1. When hitting woods you want to have your ball positioned further forward than normal.
  2. Tee the ball so it is half a ball width above your wood. This promotes hitting it on the upslope.
  3. Swing normally the club will do the work. You dont want to force it to go far this is one of the best golf tips you can give for a driver as a lot of people try to hit it harder.
  4. Have a nice low wide takeaway to promote a better swing.
Irons
  1. When hitting irons you should be aiming to hit down on the ball. This will create spin.
  2. For mid irons you want to have the ball in the middle of your stance. For long irons you want it slightly further forward.
Wedges
  1. When hitting a wedge you want a slightly narrower stance and the ball should be in the middle of your stance.
  2. Your aim is to get the ball close to the flag so swing smoothly and in control.
  3. You want to hit down on the ball to promote good contact and spin.
