| During the play of golf their are many shots you will have to use. Each shot is special and guides the ball in a different way to the hole. |
|
|
One of the most important shots is the tee shot. This shot, of course, because of its name is hit from a tee in the tee box. This shot is usually hit with a fairway wood or a driver but can be hit with an iron so distance and accuracy is important. On this shot it is the only shot on the whole course where the ball can be placed on a tee. |

The next type of shot is a fairway shot. This shot is hit from the fairway with almost about any club. This shot is important to get the ball closer to the hole or even if you hit it hard enough on the green. |
|
|
Another type of shot that golfer usually don't like to hit is a bunker shot. This shot is hit from sand in a bunker. It is very difficult to hit the ball out so if it's on the fairway or green at a short distance it's a good shot. |

| The key to most players low scores is putting. Putting is when your on the green aiming at the hole. It is one of the trickiest shots because greens sometimes are so unpredictable. A one or two put on the green to get the ball in the hole is good. If you are good at putting your scores will be lower every time you go golfing. |
|
|
|
| Chipping is one of the best shots for golfers because the objective of a chip is to get the ball as close as you can to the hole. If you hit a successful chip you'll be set up with an easy putt. |

|
| When playing golf you always don't hit onto the fairway or green. Sometimes your ball will land the rough or deep grass. This shot involves lots of strength. Your ball could be buried so if you hit the ball out you may not have as much control as you wanted to. |
|
|
When hitting your driver you can fade your shot or draw it. Fading your shot would cause the ball to go left to right and drawing the ball would cause it to go right to left. These shots are useful when you need to curve the ball around a target. |
