ok you drive off then you eathier hit a wood or iron .but what is the diff between irons ?? what iron hit what distance??
You must go to the range and determine how far you hit your clubs. all of them. At that juncture, your golf coarse should have yardage markers and you can then start determining distance, type of shot and the likes. Typical yardage markers on the coarse are 100 yds, 150 yds, and 200 yds. For example, I hit an 8 or 9 iron from 150 yds. I hit my piching wedge 100-130yds, and sand wedge from 100 yds in.
That really depends on how far you hit each particular iron. Generally speaking, the higher the number of the iron, the less distance it will travel due to the higher loft of the club. For example, a 9-iron will travel significantly less than a 5-iron, if you hit them both well. The distance depends on your particular ability. Pros can easily hit a 9-iron 145-150 yards, and 5-irons for them can carry well over 200 yards. You need to get on a range and hit shots over and over to determine how far your shots carry, then apply that to your game, taking into account the elements such as wind, uphill and downhill shots, fairway and rough lies, etc. Club selection is usually a big problem for armatures, who usually think they can hit irons further than they actually can. Also you should know that lower lofted, or long irons (3,4 5-irons) are more difficult to get airborne and hit consistently well. You may want to determine which club you can hit consistent and stick with that when you can.
