fairway wood

Long-distance club

A fairway wood is a golf club with a rounded wooden or metal head, designed for long shots from the fairway rather than off the tee.

Fairway woods have more loft than a driver but less than irons, making them useful for reaching the green on long par-4s and par-5s: She pulled out her 3-wood for the approach shot.
