It depends. When exactly a golfer chooses to switch clubs and which clubs they choose is entirely up to them, however, the gist of club changing often says that the closer to the green you are, the higher number the club will have on it. The Woods (1-7) are mainly used when on the tee and possibly the first shot directly after. After them come the irons (1-9) The higher the number on the iron, the more severe the angle on it is. This means that the 1 iron when standing upright, the club face is almost perpendicular to the ground, whereas the 9 iron's face leans far closer to the ground. There are some rules in Golf that state when a club must be used. These occur when the golfer hits the ball into a bunker, forcing the golfer to use a sand wedge. Also, when on the green, the golfer is permitted to use only the putter.
