In the game of golf, a club is used to hit the ball. Each club is made up of a shaft with a lance or grip, and a club head. There are various types of golf clubs made for different plays:

• Woods are clubs that are mainly used for tee shots on long-distance fairways. They normally have a large head and a long shaft for maximum club speed.
• Irons are the most versatile clubs which are used for various shots. They have flat angled faces and a shorter shaft than the woods. They are designed for shots nearing the green or from difficult areas like the base of a hill or over trees.
• Putters are mostly used on the green to roll the ball into the cup.
