Synonyms commonly used for the term 'golf club' include the term 'wood', historically used as these clubs were made from wood instead of metal. Other terms include 'irons', often used to refer to short and curved faced clubs designed for accuracy. Another term 'hybrids' combines features of both woods and irons and is becoming increasingly popular. 'Wedges' and 'putters' are also commonly used terms to refer to specialized clubs used for shorter shots.
