Golf is played on a piece of land designated as the course. The course consists of a series of holes. A hole means both the hole in the ground into which the ball is played as well as the total distance from the tee to the green. Most golf courses consist of nine or eighteen holes. The "nineteenth hole" is the colloquial term for the bar at a club house.Four Considerations in Selecting Your Golf Package

Woods is a type of golf club that is used to play long shots from the tee or fairway and sometimes the rough.
Iron heads are typically solid with a flat clubface. There are roughly two types of irons, cavity back irons and muscle back irons. Muscle back irons are smooth at the back, while cavity back irons have a hollowed out back, a 'cavity'. Traditionally all irons were muscle back designs. These designs are also called 'blades' for their low amounts of offset, thin toplines and thin soles. This nickname has become a synonym for difficult to hit irons.

Gap and lob wedges are common in the bags of better players, and sand wedges are fairly common for all players. But beginners should not feel obligated to pick up a sand wedge right off the bat. These are specialized clubs for specialized uses, remember, and you'll want to learn how to use the more basic clubs first.
Putters are, of course, designed to be used on the putting green. However, it isn't uncommon for golfers to use their putters from up to a few yards off the putting green, if the turf around the green is cut very low. The key to using a putter from off the putting surface is a low, smooth cut of turf. The fringe or frog hair that circles a green usually qualifies.
You can't really tell how well the clubs will perform unless you take them out for a few swings. Even at a garage sale, you should be allowed to at least make a few swings in the front yard (take some wiffle balls with you if you are garage sale shopping). Any retail shop should allow you to demo the clubs using real balls. If they won't, ask yourself why that might be.
