The most common clubs to make up a set used to be a driver, 3 and 5-woods, irons numbered from 3 to 9, pitching wedge, sand wedge, and putter. Putters have minimal loft, meaning the ball stays close to the ground when struck. Putters are mostly played on the green, but can also be useful when playing some approach shots. Wedges are played from difficult ground such as sand or the rough and for approach shots to the green. Wedges are irons used to play shorter shots. Hybrids are also used by players who have a difficult time getting the ball airborne with long irons. A hybrid is often used for long shots from difficult rough. A new type of club called a hybrid combines the straight-hitting characteristics of irons with the easy-to-hit characteristics of higher-lofted woods. Woods are played for long shots from the tee or fairway, and occasionally rough, while irons are for precision shots from fairways as well as from the rough. There are three major types of clubs, known as woods, irons, and putters.
A player usually carries several clubs during the game (but no more than fourteen, the limit defined by the rules).
