A tee shot is the first shot played by a golfer this shot is played from a teeing ground. This shot is performed with a driving club (that is a golf club that is a 1-wood) and the golf ball hit off of a tee for long holes, or this shot is made with an iron on shorter holes. Traditionally a tee shot will have a rather low flight, along with a long roll when the ball touches down. Tee shots on short holes are hit much higher into the air and are expected to stop immediately upon impact. However up to date research has been changing the opinion of most golf professionals concerning this belief. Recent improvements in golf equipment and ball technology have changed the optimum launch conditions to a higher launch angle and lower spin rate.
A fairway shot is very close to a drive shot when a fairway wood is used. When accuracy and distance control are required, irons will usually be used from the fairway. Irons and wedges are commonly used when taking a shot from the rough. A tee cannot be used once a ball is brought into play. So taking a shot from the fairway can be more difficult depending on how the ball lies. A nice clean downward strike is necessary to "pinch" the ball against the turf in order to get the ball into the air.
A bunker shot will be played when the golf ball lands in a bunker (sand trap). This shot resembles a pitch, and will be played with a "sand wedge". A sand wedge has been designed with a wider base, and this allows the club to skid in the sand. A bunker shot is different from all other golf shots, because the ball is not touched by the club head when the shot is taken from a bunker, but rather the ball is propelled up and out of the sand trap using the sand that is scoped up behind the ball when the shot is preformed.
Punch/Knockdown/Stinger: this is a low shot that is carried through the air and is preformed to clear low hanging tree branches or to avoid high winds. This shot is played using a long iron, but sometime a shorter iron is used.
When the ball has reached the green, a putter is used to hit the ball. The ball will roll along the ground, and never becoming air-borne when taking this shot.
An approach shot is played when the ball is a relatively short distance outside of the green. Types of approach shots are:
Pitch shot: is an approach shot that is taken when the ball lies anywhere from 30m to 90m from the green. How this shot is performed is dependent on conditions such as wind, firmness of the fairway and green, and the contour of the green.
Flop shot: is an even higher approach shot where the golf ball will stop rolling shortly after it hits the ground. This shot is used when a player needs to play over an obstacle to the green.
Chip shot: is a low approaching shot where the ball takes a shallow flight and then rolls onto the green.
