Ways to use this list
- One-club challenge: spin once before a round on a par-3 course and play every shot, putts included, with that club.
- Driving range game: spin a new club for every five balls, so you practise the whole bag instead of only the driver.
- Short game practice: press Wedges and spin before each chip or pitch to a target flag.
- Friendly handicap: the stronger player spins the club for their next shot while the other player chooses freely.
- Learning the bag: children spin a club and find it by reading the number or letter stamped on the sole.
Press Spin the wheel, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you
like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the
chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a duck race, hat, claw machine and more.

Questions people ask
How many clubs can you carry in a golf bag?
The Rules of Golf allow up to 14 clubs. This wheel lists 17 common choices, so a real bag usually leaves a few out, often the 3-iron, a hybrid or one of the wedges.
What is the difference between a hybrid and an iron?
A hybrid has a wider, rounder head, a bit like a small wood, which makes it easier to get the ball in the air. Many golfers carry a 3- or 4-hybrid instead of the matching long iron.
What do PW, GW, SW and LW stand for?
They are the wedges: pitching wedge, gap wedge (sometimes marked AW, for approach wedge), sand wedge and lob wedge. Each has more loft than the last, so the ball flies higher and lands softer.
What is a one-club challenge?
A round, often on a short or par-3 course, where every shot is played with a single club. It forces creative shots, and the club you spin decides how tricky the round will be.
