In general, the difference is the length of the shaft and the angle of the face of the club.  The lower the number, the longer the shaft and the more upright the face.  Higher number clubs are shorter and have a more angular face.\n\nThis results in longer shots for the smaller numbered irons (2, 3, 4), because more of the swing goes into pushing the ball down the course.  It also results in more accurate shots on the higher number irons (8, 9, pitching wedge), because the shorter shaft is more controllable.\n\nThis is also true for woods, where the smaller numbered ones tend to hit the ball further (the driver is actually the #1 wood), while higher numbered woods hit the ball shorter but more accurately.  The difference is that any particular wood will generally hit the ball a lot further than the same numbered iron.

youre holding a stone on a top of a hill (potential energy here) ---> you drop the stone off the hill (here kinetic energy) ---> the stone is on the ground (here again potential energy)

An appendix to the "Rules of Golf" defines that a golf ball must not weigh more than 45.93 grams, that its diameter must not be less than 42.67 mm, and that its shape may not differ significantly from a symmetric sphere. Like golf clubs, golf balls are subject to testing and approval by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and the United States Golf Association, and those that do not conform with the regulations may not be used in competitions (Rule 5-1).

In a "single club" tournament, you can use only one club. If you're playing with a 7-iron, then you must putt with the 7-iron and play 7-iron from no matter were you are on the course. I've seen variations where you're allowed one club plus a putter, but in a TRUE single club tournament, you are allowed ONLY one club.

The best advice I can give to anyoen trying to play the game is try your hardest to not get frustrated over the little things and be patient.  Golf is a game that is played on a fraction of millimeters.  One millimeter the wrong way and your ball will be yards away from where you wanted to hit it.

It is absolutely a hole in 1. If the golf ball hits a permanent object (light pole, halfway hut, etc etc) the ball is still considered in play where it comes to rest (unless it comes to rest out of bounds!). \n\nIn your case, it came to rest in the hole, so therefore, it's a hole-in-1. \n\nWell done! Not the most elegant, but still great!\n\nCheers!

A "stone" is also 14 pounds, but no one uses that unit of measurement anymore.  It was the "Imperial" British system.\n\nOne stone is 6.350 kilograms.

Golf originated in Scotland and has been played for at least five centuries in the British Isles. The oldest course in the world is The Old Links at Musselburgh. Golf, in essentially the form we know it today, has been played on Scotland's Musselburgh Links since 1672, and earlier versions of the game have been played in the British Isles and the low-countries of Northern Europe for several centuries before that. Although often viewed as an elite pastime, golf is an increasingly popular sport that can be played for one's entire life.

rowe2908 is correct.  It is a rule of golf based on the principle that the golfer must accept the consequences of his or her previous shot.  There are exceptions to the rule, but it is a rule.
