I would like to introduce you some basic Golf shots terminology which I think may be useful for a beginners like me

Putt:
A putt is a shot designed to roll the ball along the ground. It is normally made on the putting green using a putter, though other clubs may be used to achieve the same effect in different situations. A lag is a long putt designed less to try to place the ball in the cup than to simply move the ball closer to the hole for an easier putt into the hole.
Especial equipments to make Putt shot are Putters:

We can divide Putters according to its size and length and they are:

Traditional Length Putters: they are lighter than others and usually in three piece pack.

Mid-Length (Belly) Putters: this type of putters are customized to adjust the height and preferences of the players

Long Putters: they usually are of heavier type.

Pros
All that weight keeps the putter moving online for a great pendulum stroke, if you start it online.
Helps golfer achieve good tempo.
Helps golfers who struggle with a handsy or yippy stroke on short putts.
Very strong on distance and direction control on short putts.
Back end works great for scooping the ball up off the green.
Cons
Distance control a little less on longer putts.
Lack of strong sightlines for alignment.
Is going to be too heavy for some.

Chip:
A chip shot is a very short lofted shot, generally made with an abbreviated swing motion. Chip shots are used as very short approach shots (generally within 35 yards/32 meters), as a "lay-up" shot to reposition the ball on the fairway, or to get the ball out of a hazard such as a sand trap. This requires a lofted club, usually a wedge.
Wedges:

All wedges are characterized by high lofts (typically 45-60 degrees) to increase trajectory, and significant sole weighting to help you penetrate sand or grass. Each wedge type has its own characteristics, making it suited to a particular distance or lie.
Pitching Wedge
Pitching Wedge has typically 45-49 degrees of loft and is used for longer approach shots (about 110 yards for men, 90 yards for women). It has minimal bounce (2-5 degrees)

Gap Wedge
Gap Wedge has typically 49-54 degrees of loft and is used for shots of about 100 yards for men, or about 95 yards for women. Bounce is typically 5-12 degrees. But don't pick a gap wedge at random. Choose a loft that divides the "gap" evenly between your pitching and sand wedges. For instance, if you have a 48-degree PW and a 56-degree SW, buy a gap wedge with 52 degrees. Get it? This club is also known as a "dual" or "attack" wedge.
Sand Wedge
Sand Wedge has typically 54-57 degrees of loft and is used for shots of about 90 yards maximum for men, or about 80 yards for women. It also has the most unique club head of the bunch, with lots of bounce (10-16 degrees) and another feature called heel-toe camber. This is what gives the sand wedge an oval shape on the bottom of the face. Finally, sand wedges have more sole width (the distance between the leading and trailing edge). All these features are designed to reduce the risk of digging in.
Lob Wedge
Lob Wedge has 57 or more degrees of loft and is used for shots of about 65 yards maximum for men, or 60 yards for women. These clubs, also called "finesse" wedges, are for "touch" shots around the green that need to get into the air quickly and land softly. Bounce is minimal (0-10 degrees), because in these situations there is generally very little room under the ball, and a tiny error can make the club bounce off the ground and cause a skulled shot. It has less sole width and a sharp leading edge. One reason many players like this club is because it allows a full, unimpeded swing to cover a short distance, rather than making you rely on an abbreviated swing. The ball flies short and high.


Pitch:
A pitch or bump and run is a variation of a chip shot, which involves pitching the ball a short distance and allowing the ball to run along the ground with a medium- or high-lofted club using a motion similar to putting

Punch:
Punch or knock-down shots are very low-loft shots of varying distance. They are used to avoid hitting the ball into overhead obstructions, or when hitting into the wind.
Flop:
A Flop Shot is when a player opens the club face on a chip shot to get the ball to fly over an obstacle and stop quickly when it hits the ground.
Drive:
A drive is a long-distance shot played from the tee, intended to move the ball a great distance down the fairway towards the green. The driver or 1-wood is used for this shot.
Approach:
An approach shot is made with the intention of placing the ball on the green. The term "approach" typically refers to a second or subsequent shot with a shorter-range iron depending on the distance required.
Hook:
A hook is a shot which moves severely from right to left (or left to right for a left-handed player). More skilled players can hook the ball at will, but most commonly a hook is a misplayed shot that often has negative consequences as a result.
Fade:
A fade is when a player shapes a shot from left to right in a curving motion (or right to left for a left-handed player). This occurs when the clubface is open relative to the swingpath Ray Ban sunglasses.
Slice:
A slice is a shot which moves severely from left to right (or right to left for a left-handed player). More skilled players can slice the ball at will, but most commonly a slice is a misplayed shot that often has negative consequences as a result.
Shank:
A shank occurs when the club strikes the ball close to the joint between the shaft of the club and the club head, called the hosel, and thus flies at a sharp angle to the right of the intended direction (or to the left, for a left-handed player). It is often called a "lateral" describing the path of the shot. Shanking can become difficult to stop when started.
Thin:
A thin shot occurs when the forward edge of the club head strikes the ball too high, causing the shot to come up short of the target.
Fat:
A fat shot occurs when the forward edge of the club head strikes the ground behind the ball, causing the shot to come up short of the target.
pop-up:
A pop-up occurs when the golf ball strikes too highly on the clubface, sending the ball very high and leaving it well short of its intended target.
Whiff:
A whiff occurs when the golfer swings and misses the ball
