Correct Golf Club Selection Is An Important Part Of Good Golf Course Management

Choosing proper golf club selection at the right time will help improve your golf shots and shave strokes off your golf scores. You should learn and know how far you hit all of your golf clubs. Typically if you hit a 7 iron 160 yards, each club will vary about 10 yards of distance. So you should hit an 8 iron 150 yards and a 6 iron 170 yards. Your distance with your golf clubs will vary greatly depending on how you are built, how strong you are, and how fundamentally sound your golf swing mechanics are.

Be Committed To Your Golf Club Selection

Whatever the club you decide to use for a particular shot, make sure you commit to your decision and make a good swing. Last minute doubt and indecision can be avoided by commiting to the shot you intend to hit and sticking with it. The worst thing you can do is pick a 7 iron to hit for a shot, and then while standing over the golf ball, think to yourself maybe you should have picked a 6 iron instead. Indecision can ruin golf shots, so get clear on your shot and stick with it. You'll do better by making a confident golf swing with the wrong club than you will making a tentative swing with the right club.

How To Pick The Right Golf Club

If you have a yardage where you are in between clubs, there is a good way to choose which club to hit. If you are in between clubs and it is a 7 iron or higher number, you should use the shorter club. If you are in between clubs, and it's a 6 iron or lower number, take the longer club. With shorter clubs, it's easier to be aggressive and still hit good shots. With longer clubs, it's better to make a smoother swing and take more club if you are in between distances.
