There are four major types of golf clubs: woods, irons, hybrids, and putters. Woods are the longest clubs and are used for teeing off. Irons are shorter and have a more lofted angle, making them great for shots that require more precision. Hybrids combine the best features of both woods and irons, making them versatileclubs that can be used in a variety of situations. Putters are the shortest clubs and are designed specifically for use on the green.
