One of the quickest ways to improve your golf game is understanding how far you hit each club. While it’s tempting to focus solely on driving distance, knowing the average yardages for every club in your bag can lead to smarter decisions and lower scores.
Every golfer is different, and factors like swing speed, weather conditions, and club type can affect your distances. But having a reliable baseline to work from is crucial. By building a solid understanding of your own club distances, you’ll be better equipped to choose the right club in various situations—whether it’s a full-swing 7-iron approach shot or a controlled wedge into the green.
A Golf Club Distance Chart can help simplify these choices. That's why we've put together this quick guide below. It gives you a clear reference point to lean on during your round, providing a consistent guide for your yardages. And while it’s important to remember that distances can vary from golfer to golfer, having a chart helps take the guesswork out of your shot selection.
