Dan Farley asked:


I am 17 years old and I have just signed up to become a member at my local golf club and have bought all 14 clubs that I should need, second-hand, for £100.

I want some help understanding all these things which I don’t understand…

Here are my questions:

1. What do all the different one digit numbers mean, above or below the make of golf balls (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4; what do these numbers tell me about the golf balls?) E.g. a Titleist ball with a number 4 above the writing.

2. What do the different single digit numbers mean on all the irons and woods; i.e from a number 3 on an iron, to a number 9 on an iron; and 1 wood (driver) to a 7 wood?

3. (The last question) What are, both, the pitching and sand wedge used for?

Thanks for any help.

There are several companies and I’m wondering what your experience has been with different companies. Thanks

I’ve just begun a course in learning to play golf, and the easiest exercise is swinging the club with one arm.
The problem is that, being totally new, I do not own any golfing equipment. I’d like to know what I may use to substitute.
