How it works
This golf club wheel spin holds 20 clubs: four woods, three hybrids, seven irons, four wedges, a chipper and a putter. Spin before a shot and hit whatever it lands on. That is the random club game, and it turns a practice round into a lesson in half swings and odd lies. The card gives each club's usual loft and job.

How a random club round works
Agree the rules on the first tee. The usual version: spin before every full shot, play the club the wheel names, and putt with your own putter. The harder version spins once per hole, and that club plays the whole hole, putts included. Landed on a club you do not carry? Spin again. In Elimination a club leaves the wheel once it comes up, so nothing repeats.
Put your own bag on the wheel
The Rules of Golf cap a bag at 14 clubs, and there are 20 here, so nobody carries them all. Tap My list, type your own bag, one club per line, and press Spin only mine: a random golf club generator that matches your set. Or spin one group. Irons makes a good range session. Wedges, chipper and putter is a short-game drill: drop a ball beside the practice green, spin, and get up and down with that club.
- Play a two-player scramble: one spin, both hit that club, take the better ball.
- On the range, switch to Tally and spin ten times. It shows which clubs you keep avoiding.
- Go for the green or lay up? Hand that call to the yes or no wheel.
Questions and answers
How many golf clubs can I carry in a round?
Fourteen. Rule 4.1b caps a player at 14 clubs, both at the start of a round and during it. That is a maximum, not a minimum: you can start with fewer and add clubs up to the limit. In stroke play the penalty is two strokes for each hole where the breach happened, four at most. Checked at randa.org on 2026-09-18.
What is a one-club challenge?
A round played with a single club, putts included. A mid iron is a sound pick, because it can be hooded to run the ball and opened to lift it. Let the Irons group choose, then leave the other 13 in the car. For a three-club round, switch to Elimination and spin three times.
Are the lofts on the cards exact?
No. They are typical figures from Wikipedia's golf club articles, checked on 2026-09-18. No numbered club has a standard loft, and every maker sets its own. Irons have also grown stronger: a modern 9-iron has about the loft of a 7-iron from the 1990s.
