Whether you’re brand new to golf or you’ve been playing golf all your life there are essential things that you need to know in order to be a good golfer and I’m going to share them with you you see I want to help you to navigate this

Fantastic game so that not only will you play the game but you play the game well well the first thing that you’re going to need in order to play this wonderful game is a set of clubs the rules of golf permit us to carry 14 clubs I want you

To look at your clubs like a set of tools just like you’d have a set of wrenches that has an incremental progression your clubs work the same way from your shortest clubs to your longest clubs there’s an incremental progression of length of club and loft of Club this

Is what allows you to then create different results in the shots that you hit you’re going to have different distances and different trajectories and also different spin rates now this is important to understand that as you look at your set of clubs you’re just trying to fill in your toolbox so your Club

Should mat match your skill set and what you’re looking to accomplish on the golf course without a doubt there’s a more expert way of building your bag and there’s a more beginner way of building your bag and that has a lot to do with the clubs that you select so your clubs

Can be made up of wedges irons hybrids Fairway Woods a driver and a putter now you can carry as many of these clubs as you want but you’re limited to 14 now the important thing is is you don’t want want to carry two of the same Club if I

Have two drivers I’m wasting a spot in my bag so when you look at your bag you want to have a steady progression from your shortest Club to your longest Club so that when you go play you have a progression of shots that you can hit

From Club to Club in general my clubs vary in distance from Club to Club about 10 to 14 yards now that’s going to be all individual for you but that’s about the goal that you’re trying to create for yourself now watch I’m going to pull out my nine

Iron my eight iron and my seven iron these clubs all correspond to a certain length and a loft the nine iron is a/ inch shorter than the eight iron which is a/ inch shorter than the seven iron and that progression carries through the bag also

The nine iron has 4° more Loft on it than the eight iron which has 4° more Loft than the seven iron and I make sure that through my bag I keep this progression of 4° and a half an inch now let’s talk about the irons for a little

Bit your irons can be made with two different Technologies one where the club is either forged like these or cast the other is whether the club has this type of shape which is called a muscle back or a blade golf club or whether the club has the shape of a cavity back

Cavity back clubs make the club more forgiving these blades or muscle back clubs are more for expert players now what the cavity back does is simply this there’s a perimeter waiting around the outside edge of the back of the club and what that does is it helps to keep the

Club face square and it widens your sweet spot I don’t need to keep the club face Square because I can manage that with my own skill and I don’t need a big sweet spot so I choose to play these muscle back clubs now what these do for

Me is they are less forgiving but I could do more with them these become more of an expert type club now with the cavity backs they also make streamline versions of the cavity backs that many experts play and then they also make more forgiving versions of the cavity

Backs that are more for the general population or more for a beginner golfer now to be clear back in the 50s and the 60s and the 70s this is all anybody played these were the standard clubs they were called blades or muscle backs and then technology came out in the late

7s where they started making these perimeter weighted clubs now that technology is great but I got to tell you the clubs being more forgiving are less Dynamic you can do less with them there’s a give and a take to it I would describe it similar to this blades are

More like driving a sports car whereas a cavity back Club is more like driving having a luxury sedan and the bigger the cavity is on the cavity back Club the more luxurious the sedan is now that means that although it’s a wonderful vehicle you can’t race it like you would

A sports car so when you select your clubs just make sure you select a set of clubs that matches your skill set and matches the game that you’re trying to produce now after your irons we go into hybrids a hybrid is just that it’s a

Hybrid of an iron and a wood you see Woods are more forgiving than my irons it’s because the club head’s bigger has a bigger Sweet Spot it’s made to be more forgiving it’s more forgiving because it produces the longest distance and when you’re trying to hit the ball the

Greatest distance you want a more forgiving club and this is the reason why I don’t play a hybrid that forgiveness I don’t need I’d rather hit a one iron two iron or a three iron then hit a Hybrid after your hybrids comes your Fairway Woods Fairway Woods are

Just that clubs that you’re often going to hit from the Fairway now that doesn’t mean that you’re only going to hit them from the Fairway but most often you will be playing them from the Fairway you could also play them off the tea when you start the hole then after your

Fairway Woods we got the driver the driver is your club that goes the longest and the farthest so when you look at your set of clubs I want you to think to yourself okay I want a steady progression from my shortest clubs to my longest clubs and if you could create a

Steady progression you’ll find that when you go to the golf course it won’t be so difficult to hit the ball all the different distances that you’re asked to hit the ball because you got a set of tools that’s going to permit you to do that now the last Club is a putter

Putters are actually very simple technology they also come in two different forms one form is a club that’s called a face balance putter like this one the other one is called a tow hang putter so as I lay this putter over my forearm here you see the face of the

Putter faces the sky this is an indicator that this is a face balance putter if the toe hung like this it’d be called a tow hang putter so you have an option between buying a face balance Putter and a tow hang putter the difference between the two is significant face balance Putters are

Trying to keep your Club face Square that’s the beauty of that technology with a tow hang putter the responsibility is on you to keep the club face Square I have found in my experience of using both of those different types of Putters I find that the face balance putter is far better

Than a tow hang putter to use I want to break down the components of an iron for you an iron’s made up of a club head a feral a shaft and a grip the feral is just a decorative piece that allows the connection from the club head to the shaft to look more

Fluid your Club head on your Club head you have a face you have the sole you have the back of the club you have your grooves and you have your Leading Edge clubs are meant to sit up on their Leading Edge clubs don’t sit back on the sole they sit up on their

Leading Edge for the majority of the shots that you’re going to play all of your irons and wedges are meant to sit up on the Leading Edge this Leading Edge is where the face of the club meets the soul of the club the club sits up on the

Leading Edge and that’s what puts it in its position so that it can give you the best Dynamic result
