It is essential to grasp your club distances to achieve precise and effective golf shots. A flawless swing with an inappropriate club choice can swiftly result in a double bogey or worse.
We suggest documenting the standard yardage for each of your clubs and keeping it handy for quick reference on the golf course. This information can guide you in making informed decisions, such as choosing between an “easy” 8-iron or a “full” 9-iron.
Below is a simple guide to each club and their distances across the various skill levels.
