Golf offers a wide variety of shots, each with its own purpose and technique. Here are some common types of golf shots:
Drive: The drive, or tee shot, is the first shot on a hole, typically taken from the tee box. It is hit with a driver or other long club and aims to achieve maximum distance while keeping the ball in play.
Fairway Shot: Fairway shots are taken from the fairway, the closely mowed area between the tee box and the green. These shots are usually hit with irons or fairway woods and aim to advance the ball toward the green with accuracy and control.
Approach Shot: Approach shots are taken from the fairway or rough and aim to land the ball on the green, setting up a putt for birdie or par. Approach shots require precision to avoid hazards and position the ball close to the hole.
Chip Shot: Chip shots are short, low-trajectory shots played from around the green. They are used to lift the ball over obstacles such as rough or bunkers and land it softly on the green, allowing for easy putting.
