In Scotland, King James II banned the game of golf (with football). Obviously were the sports keep his subjects from their archery practice. The ban remained in place over the next three kings until 1502nd
King James IV of Scotland lifted the ban on golf, because he found the game itself. King James also bought the first set of golf clubs, designed by a local bow maker.

The Golf Club
Today's standard Golf Club consists of three parts: the head, shaft and grip. The next series of tips will explain each of these and tell you why they are important.
Head
The head of your club is located at the very end of a part that makes contact with the golf ball. Heads are now primarily of zinc and aluminum alloys. Heads have several shapes and weights, which set the standard twelve o'clock club.
Shaft
The shaft is the long part of the club, that the head and the handle connects. You can wave from two different components: graphite or steel. Graphite is best for beginners. You can also custom fit your shaft to your body size.
Grip
The grip on your club is up, and it is what you think when you swing it. It is important that you change your grips frequently, because it can harden, oxidize, is smooth and lose their grip. A good rule of thumb is to change your grip every six months.

1 timber (as driver)
3 wood
5 wood
Irons
Iron are removed in the first place for shooting less than 200 yards from the green used. A standard set of clubs has eight iron: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 iron and pitching wedge (which we discuss next). The closer you used to the green, the higher the iron is.
Wedges
