If you are not a golfer, that big bag of clubs seems like an awfully hard way to take a walk. Golf courses are scenic locations that provide some of the nicest parks in the country. They contain rolling hills, lakes, ponds, and even small islands. They are a great place to take a walk and enjoy the outdoors.

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.

However if you want enjoy the scenic surroundings you will need to learn to play the game of golf. Course managers usually frown upon you just walking on their finely tailored lawns. You will notice that the grass on golf courses is nicer than you could ever hope your yard to be. All of this just to hit a ball with a stick.

Well if you want to enjoy these scenic locations you will need to learn how to play golf. The first thing you need to know is what are all those clubs for? Couldn’t you just use one stick for the entire course?

Clubs each have their specific purpose. There is a club intended for situation along a golf course. The biggest clubs in the bag are known naps woods. These clubs were originally made of wood but now moist of them consist of titanium. The largest of the woods are known as drivers. The purpose of these clubs is to hit the ball off the tee and toward the hole. The larger the face heads of a driver the better. There are limits to the size these can be. A driver’s purpose is to provide a long straight drive off the tee. The longer 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.
