Hi! This is Ken and I am here today to talk to you about the basics of golf. In order to get around the course the eighteen holes we got to have a series of clubs. Now you start off with what I called the woods. This are for driving the ball of the tee. Now in my particular bag here I got three woods. I got the one wood which is the driver. I got the three wood which is use for shooting in the fairway, and it could also be use off the tee if this is not that great. And these is the five wood which is also use of the tee but, also use in the fairway. Now each of these clubs go a certain distance it very from player to player. The professionals can take a driver like this a shoot it three hundred yards. Maybe I shoot like two fifty. Once you get to know your range you know which club to use to or how many yards there are a hole. But, basically we start off with a driver, and then we go to the three wood when we are in the fairway. Or the five wood depending upon the distance to the hole. Thank you!
