What is a rescue club?

A rescue club is a type of golf club that is designed to help players hit higher, shorter shots that can easily clear hazards or obstacles, such as water or tall grass. Rescue clubs typically have a higher loft than traditional long irons, which helps to get the ball up in the air quickly and land softly on the green.

Rescue clubs are also known as utility clubs or hybrid clubs because they combine elements of both irons and fairway woods. They typically have a smaller head and a shorter shaft than fairway woods, making them easier to control and more forgiving on off-center hits.

Many golfers find rescue clubs to be easier to hit and more consistent than traditional long irons, making them a popular choice for players of all skill levels. Rescue clubs can be used both from the fairway and from the rough, making them a versatile addition to any golfer's bag.
