Fairway Woods
The poor relation

Fairway Woods:- Although Drivers steal the attention when it comes to driving the golf ball, particularly for beginners, woods have always been the poor relation to the big guns and are often overlooked in regards to how useful they are, and the benefits they give.

Fairway Woods are generally safer when teeing-off, especially for beginners and high handicappers. Their shorter distance and higher control allow golfers to hit the fairway and greens more often. This is also a very useful club for getting out of trouble, for instance you may be in the semi-rough and need to "nudge" your ball down the fairway and back into play, Woods are extremely useful for that type of shot.


Golfers of varying standards won't even carry a Driver in their bag, and remain solely on their Woods, note this is plural as you can have a number of Woods in your bag. I have played with many golfers who only have Fairway Woods in their golf bag!


Lots of golfers, (myself included) mix brands between their Driver, Woods and irons. This is because they feel comfortable with certain golf clubs. They are more confident with their Callaway Big Bertha Driver, perhaps a TaylorMade Wood and maybe a set of Ping irons. Over time you will feel the need to change your types of golf clubs, particularly your putter.

Lowering your score is all about playing to percentages, and good course management. Selecting the right equipment is all important. Your golf clubs are an extension of your body, so you must be at one with your clubs.
