And it almost always stems from the same thing: using \u201cideal\u201d distances (those from your best shot of the day or ones you\u2019ve heard about) instead of the distances you actually hit on the course. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve put together <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a comprehensive guide to help you determine the approximate distance you can achieve with each type of club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A little background<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<u> <\/u><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/awolfgolf.com\/blog\/tipos-de-palos-de-golf\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><u>golf clubs<\/u><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and their distances have changed over the years.
