The second on the list of equipments would be the clubs. Basically there are three categories of it namely woods, irons and putters, used for different types of shots. Wedges are used for shorter shots while irons are used for the long range ones. Putters are used when you want to reduce the flight of the ball.
Moreover there are other important things such as ball markers, tees; golf bag etc. Ball markers are used to mark the position of the ball, while tees are used to give the ball the initial elevation. Also there are club head covers used to cover the head region of clubs, ball mark repair tools etc. All these go inside a Golf bag, which is used to carry all of the Golf Equipment.
