Which golf clubs should i use for certain distances?

Question

Ok like im a new golfer i just played my second round today so im still learning. my question is what clubs should i use for certain yard shots? (example Use the 3hybrid for 140 yard shots ect (im not expecting the yardage to be right on that but if i was right then SWEET!)) Also if you have any other tips or any thing that would help me that would be great. (i have my grip/stance/swing down pretty good, im shooting 2-4 over par, and its only my second game so i dont think thats too bad. could use tips on putting or any other tips that you might have that could help my game....)

Answer 1

Since you are a novice golfer who has just played his second round today, the yardage that a player gets from his clubs depends on the golf swing, the strength of that swing as well as the consistency of the swing. The very first thing you do is find out if you have a good basic swing. Then practice hitting golf balls on a range. Measure a cluster of the shots as well as the shortest and the longest with different clubs at different times to determine the yardage you hit. As you become more proficient you will notice a pattern of consistency developing in both the yardage and accuracy for each club. At this point you should start playing rounds on the golf course, determining yardages by eye applying the club which will get you to a point beyond the flagstick. The grip , stance and alignment are paramount to striking the ball well.

Well first of all, A hybrid is like a iron. Exept Hybrids were made to get the ball higher, and they are easier to hit. I dont know exactly how old you are, but if you can only hit your 3 iron hybrid 140 yards, thats not the greatest, but your just starting. And to be honest, if you are shooting 2-4 over par your first round, there no way. Sorry, but that just dosent happen your second round. But you never know, you could of been made to golf. Anyways, for putting, try lagging your puts to the whole. That means, look for the break ( breaking in a green means look for the slope on a green, if its sloping to the right, put more to the left.) lagging your puts up is always good if your a good distance away from the whole. Then, it makes it easier to tap your 2nd put in, unless of course, you really need to make your first put.(example, in a tournament, down by one) Anyways, practice practice and more practice, that dosent just mean to play 2 rounds of golf every day. It also means on the practice green working on chipping and putting at least every day, and on the driving range getting more distance. Good luck!

Answer 3

Distances vary, so you have to figure out yourself. Usually, the base distance is 150 yards. Say you can hit a 5-iron that distance. The 4-iron probably goes about 160, 3-iron 170, 6-iron 140, 7-iron 130, and so on. Usually courses have 150-yard markers, so it's easy to judge. Just make sure you take wind, conditions, etc. into account.

Figure that out, and then practice, practice, practice.

Answer 4

You just cannot peg any yardage to any particular golf club, be it a wood or an iron. It all depends on how you hit a golf ball using any particular club. You have to practice a number of times on the driving range to know your actual ability, strength and yardage achieved when using the various golf clubs in your bag.

There's no short cut to this. However, an experienced caddy (if you ever use one) can easily tell you after a few rounds of golf with him as to what club you should use for any particular shot or distance, after watching your earlier shots on the golf course.
