To figure out which golf club to use for a particular shot, you need to know the average distance you hit a ball with each golf club in your set. Then, you simply choose the golf club that fits the distance you need to hit. Sounds simple?
The best way to find out is to hit about 50 balls with each club. Eliminate the longest five and the shortest five, and then figure out the middle of the remaining group. That’s your average yardage.
This table shows how far the average club golfer generally hits with each club.
When you start to play this game, you probably will attain these yardages or maybe more, but for beginners, its a good guide.
