The short game – choosing the right clubs around the green as a beginner
Driving and approach shots can be challenging enough in golf, but it’s around the green where scores are really made.

Trust your swing and let the clubs do the work. Here, we’ll guide you through how to think when choosing irons and wedges for your bag setup.

But tee shots can also feel intimidating on those days when your swing just isn’t quite there. That’s when it’s important to find the perfect balance between distance and control. Here’s our guide to choosing the right club from the tee.
