But with this in mind, these clubs are liable to change.
For example, some pro golfers prefer to replace one of their woods with a longer club such as a hybrid or a driving iron.
One of the biggest questions asked by new golfers is whether they should be carrying a 3 wood or a 5 wood.
In reality, there is no harm in carrying both since this won’t affect the 14 club maximum.
The main difference between these clubs is the loft with the 3 wood having between 15ºand 18º whereas a 5 wood has a slightly higher loft up to 22º. Having both options in your bag covers you for every eventuality.
There is also a lot of confusion, especially among newer golfers, over why clubs really matter in golf.
The truth is that each club is designed to perform differently and it really does matter which you choose for any given shot.
Differences in bounce and loft are particularly notable so when buying clubs, always go to a professional who will be able to help you choose something that will maximise your game.
