Golfers are allowed to carry 14 clubs with them during play. Golfers are allowed to have a maximum of 14 clubs, but not all of them keep all 14 with them during play. The woods are used for teeing off, which is the initial hit that the golfer makes. The irons are used for getting the ball from wherever it lands after teeing off to the putting green. Putters are only used on the green. Par is an essential scoring term. When you watch golf, you’ll hear the commentators having discussions about being over or under par. Par is the number of strokes a golfer is supposed to take to get the ball into the hole. When a player is one stroke under par, it’s referred to as a birdie. Two strokes under par is called an eagle.
