What Club are You?

Clubs, anyone? Not the club you belong to get that free movie ticket, nor is this that foot your patient is trying to show you. Definitely, this is not about that club you frequent to unwind. Nothing of the sort that happens in the night.

The club I am talking about is only used during daytime. You go out with your best buddies, you're luckier if the girl of your dreams happens to play golf, too.

Yes, this is about golf and that club you've always wondered for its being pricey.

Basically, the golf club has 3 main parts: the shaft, the club head and the grip.

For the golf enthusiasts, this is easier to comprehend. But how about the beginners or just plain asking?

Ladies, read on so you can decode what the golf guys are talking about.

You stand there, mouth agape open while the golf player swings.

Do you know that it is not about the swing of the arm but the club? The club defines where to your ball would go.

There are three main types namely, the driver, the putter and the iron. The driver, from the word itself, is meant to be used for long shots. So when he says, "Give me the driver," do not go on and look for a person or rummage inside the tool box. And, be ready to walk because when a player asks for the driver, this means so much farther where you stand.

Next is the putter. This type of club is used when rolling the ball leisurely. Think of it this way: the hole is somewhat 20 steps away from where you stand. That is when you used the putter. No specific golf club is meant to be present in a golfer's bag but this type comes closest. Most golf players start with driving the ball to distances same as mentioned above, thus the need for a beginner to have one.

Lastly, but not the least, is the iron. It was named iron since the club head is made from iron but historically speaking, almost all clubs evolved from iron.

Modern technology afforded us to enjoy the much more durable type which is steel. Like every golf club's use, this is also used to propel the ball towards the hole but mainly it is used at rough parts and hazards. These are characterized by the man-made lakes, bunkers and dense vegetations.

Now that you have a backgrounder on those clubs, don't go on being suspicious when you overhear your husband's conversation on the phone with, "I really want to see your club."
