Etiquette for Choosing a Golf Club

Video Transcript

" Hi, I am Kinsey Snyder on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we are going to talk about etiquette on the fairway. My ball here is 150 yards away, for me that is 9-iron, I brought four clubs with me, a six, seven, eight, nine as you can see. The yardages on golf courses are almost always to the center of the green, so if the pin is up front that could be as little as 135 yards, or if the pin is in the back it could be as much as 175 yards, plus wind conditions can mean a club or two as well, so be prepared, this helps save time; and if my partner is 30 yards away, and I only have my 7-iron and I need to hit a 8-iron or a 6-iron, I don’t have to waste time to go get it, or just hit the shot feeling uncomfortable with the club I have only. So be prepared, take time to took at the yardages first, and the wind conditions, and ultimately it will save you plenty of time in the long run, thank you."
