They can be planted deeper for use with other clubs but then tend to break more often. The length of tees varies according to the club intended to be used and by personal preference longer tees (3–3.5") allow the player to position the ball higher off the ground while remaining stable when planted, and are generally used for modern deep-faced woods. Plastic tees are generally more expensive but last longer. Wooden tees are generally very inexpensive and quite disposable a player may damage or break many of these during the course of a round. Conventional golf tees are basically spikes with a small cup on the head to hold the ball, and are usually made of wood or plastic. Ball markers are often integrated into other accessories, such as divot tools, scorekeeping tools or tee holders, and in the absence of a purpose-made marker, a small coin such as a penny is acceptable.Ī tee is an object (wooden or plastic) that is pushed into or placed on the ground to rest a ball on top of for an easier shot however, this is only allowed for the first stroke ( tee shot or drive) of each hole. In these cases, the ball's position must first be marked using a ball marker this is typically a round, flat piece of metal or plastic that is differentiable from others in use.
When on the green, the ball may be picked up to be cleaned or if it is in the way of an opponent's putting line there are certain other circumstances in which a ball may be lifted. Players may choose to play with any combination of clubs, limited by the rules to a maximum of 14. Modern sets commonly include hybrids, often replacing the longer irons and 5-wood, and/or additional wedges such as a gap or lob wedge. The most common clubs to make up a set used to be a driver, 3 and 5-woods, irons numbered from 3 to 9, pitching wedge, sand wedge, and putter. Putters have minimal loft, meaning the ball stays close to the ground when struck. Putters are mostly played on the green, but can also be useful when playing some approach shots. Wedges are played from difficult ground such as sand or the rough and for approach shots to the green. Wedges are irons used to play shorter shots. Hybrids are also used by players who have a difficult time getting the ball airborne with long irons. A hybrid is often used for long shots from difficult rough. A new type of club called a hybrid combines the straight-hitting characteristics of irons with the easy-to-hit characteristics of higher-lofted woods. Woods are played for long shots from the tee or fairway, and occasionally rough, while irons are for precision shots from fairways as well as from the rough. There are three major types of clubs, known as woods, irons, and putters.
A player usually carries several clubs during the game (but no more than fourteen, the limit defined by the rules).
