Does One Use the Same Golf Swing all the Time Except for Putting?
I have just started hitting balls at a golf simulator. So far I am just on the driving range and do a full swing. Does the swing change when one plays golf on a real course as one gets nearer the green? What I mean is do you hit it with a less full swing or does changing the clubs take care of the differences in distances?

in general , yes, except that your iron swing speed will be slower than your driver swing (natural), and yes club distances are based on more loft per same swing …a lot of players will club up, and hit 3/4 swings when close to the greens with less backswing and follow thru to get more control of the ball flight and release on to the green…

The swing definitely changes with both the clubs you use, and what you intend to do with the shot. Hitting off the tee with a driver, for instance, you use a long, sweeping stroke, avoiding hitting the ground. Using irons, you will use a shorter stroke, hitting down on the ball. Pitching and chipping also vary depending on the carry and roll you want. You can only learn so much on a driving range, you must get our on a course and play to get a better feel for what you can do with each club. Good luck with your game.

To be completely honeswt with you, your swing should be the same no matter what club you have. The only time your swing changes is with chipping, pitching, putting, and bunker shots. Your swing should be no harder with a driver then it is with a 7 iron. Yes you see the pros swinging a bit harder, but thats cause they are pros. I am a certified pro in Canada and the biggest misconception for people is the harder you swing the farther the ball goes. This is not true. When you swing harder you leave yourself open to changing your swing plane and therefore prone to hooks and slices. The best way to get better is to try and maintain the same swing speed with each club. Adjusting your swing for each club will make the game harder to learn, think of it this way. With 14 clubs in your bag, if you have 14 different swings how hard does that sound. Let the club work for you as thats why they have different degrees of loft. Around the green is where you will need to differ your swing. That just takes time to get used to your style. Remember, play your game, not anyone elses.

No, you can only carry 14 clubs so they’re aren’t enough to have a full swing for each.
You have to hit pitches (half swings) and chips( sort of like a putting stroke).

Absolutely not, i change my shot with each club and position of the ball.

An experienced golfer should have the following types of swings…
-driving (hit in deep into the fairway)
-long irons (full swing it somewhere on or near the green)
-short irons (full swing but make it close)
-pitching (all accuracy)
-chipping or flopping (get it as close as possilbe)
-putting (get in your home ball)
Yes, your swing will usually change when you get closer to the green. Even if your club changes, you’re still going to have to adjust your swing accordingly most of the time.
