Woods, irons… what?!

Okay, I’m still new to this and I honestly don’t know the difference between all the club types. I keep hearing about hybrids, wedges, fairway woods — it’s a lot. Can someone break it down in beginner terms? Like what do you actually need when you’re just starting out?

Re: Woods, irons… what?!

Haha I get this so much. When I first got into golf, I thought “irons” were just metal clubs and “hybrids” were something from a car. ? The terminology is so confusing if you’re not familiar, and it’s hard to know what clubs you actually need. That’s why I really appreciated this article https://4moles.com/golf-news/how-to-cho … kill-level : How to Choose the Right Golf Clubs for Your Skill Level. It breaks down all the types — woods, irons, hybrids, wedges, putters — and explains them in a way that doesn’t make you feel dumb for not knowing. After reading it, I finally understood why people carry so many clubs and what each one is supposed to be for. I realized I didn’t need the full arsenal right away, just a few versatile clubs to get started. Made the game feel way less intimidating, and a lot more fun. If the terminology is tripping you up, seriously, that article is gold.

That came at the perfect time, seriously. I’ve been outgrowing my starter clubs but didn’t want to drop a bunch of cash without knowing what makes sense for my level. That article sounds like it hits the nail on the head. Thank you for sharing it — exactly the kind of advice I needed!
