Answer 3

None of them do anything.  The golfer does it.

Answer 4

It's all about the distance and lie of the ball.   You start by hitting a Driver on the tee box.  Then when the ball is on the fairway you use a Fairway Wood or an Iron to shoot to the green (depending on the distance).   Then, you roll the ball to the hole with a putter.   It's as simple as that.

Answer 5

driver hits it farthest... irons get it close to the green... wedges get it on the green... putter gets it in the hole
