WHAT DOES A SET OF CLUBS CONSIST OF?
Basically, a set of clubs consists of 'woods' and irons and a putter.

WOODS
Woods ( a generic term for the shape of the club as these are often made of other materials) are the more bulbous-headed clubs with greater clubhead density, designed for propelling the ball longer distances. Originally, these numbered from 1 (Driver) to 4-wood, but these days it seems that woods can have any degree of 'loft' and can number down to the higher iron numbers.
IRONS
A normal set of irons consists of numbers 3 to 9, together with a pitching wedge and sand wedge for use around the greens and from bunkers. The lower the number on the club, normally the longer the shaft to give a bigger swing-arc, and the less the degree of loft on the face. These are designed to hit the ball lower over longer distances. The higher the number, the shorter the shaft and greater degree of loft. These are intended to hit the ball higher and over shorter distances.There are a number of additional clubs, such as a 1 or 'driving' iron, and a lob-wedge with a very high degree of loft, which is intended to get the ball very high, thereby reducing the amount of 'run' on the ball once it lands.
THE PUTTER
Has a flat face, and is designed to cause the ball to roll along the ground in places such as the putting green.Basically, the golfer is free to choose his/her optimal selection of clubs, the only provisos being the maximum number (14) which may be taken out on a given (competitive) round, and the fact that the design of the club must conform to the rules as laid down by the authorities and amended from time to time as part of the rules of golf.Pick up any golf magazine, and you will be presented with a bewildering array of clubs and balls – even clothing- all of which are 'guaranteed' to put additional distance on your drives or spin on your pitch shots. The reality is that for the vast majority of golfers they will probably make very little, if any, difference.

Where To Practice

How and where to practice
At Home:This is the ideal place to condition your muscles to adapt to the changes you are working on. You really can train your body consciously into the position you are working towards. Just think, you don't have any distractions to stop you breaking away from your old habits – you can slowly and gradually let your body create the new ones – if you were to train a muscle 60 times a day for 21 days a new habit would have been created.The idea is to use the short club/ weighted club-training aid, and very slowly perform the exercise you are working on – the more senses you use while repeating this, the better i.e. visualize the changes, feel the changes and talk yourself through the changes – this will make it easier for you to “let it happen” when the ball is in the way.So 5 or 10 minutes spent in a quiet room with a short club will be a great supplement to you in your outdoor practice and will allow you to improve your golf in quicker time!Garden:Great for beginners - what a great place to practice away from the intimidation of other players – you can go through the fundamentals and get used to hitting the airflow balls – remember, if you can hit them, you can hit any other ball.

Driving range

How we advise you should go about your practice at the range:
-Loosen up-Practice exercises (in your particular area) without the ball, to the tee peg.-Introduce the ball – keep doing the practice exercises in between hitting shots.
