The Most Important Clubs in your Bag!
Short Irons
We now come to the 'short irons', which as the name implies are shorter than the others, and are used extensively from the shorter distances away from the green. The clubs that come under the banner of 'short irons' are 7, 8 & 9 . Generally used for a variety of shots (some wonderfully cunning!) once you get to within about 120 - 130 yards of the green. Once again the loft of the clubface comes into play, and the strength you hit the ball allied to the angle of loft, will determine if the shot lands on the green from a great height or runs on from a low height (called a 'chip and run').
Other Clubs
The final clubs in our bag are the 10 iron, better known as the Pitching Wedge, the Sand Iron and the Putter. All these are for really close quarter combat! Both the Pitching Wedge and Sand Iron can, and frequently are, used from distances up to 100 - 110 yards away from the green, but are also used for that final delicate little chip which leaves the ball 2 inches from the hole!
Although often used to chip around the green the Sand Iron, as the name implies, is really designed for those nasty shots from bunkers (also called sand traps).
The last club is probably the most important - the Putter. If you don't have a putter that you feel comfortable with then you've little chance of holing many putts. Because there are so many different kinds of putter available these days, perhaps the best thing would be to go to your local golf store or pro's shop at the golf course and try a few different styles out. You'll soon find one that feels comfortable, and one that will always sink that 20 footer with ease!
