Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Golf | | English term or phrase: Acronyms Found on Golf Clubs | On golf clubs in the United States, they have "1W", "1Hy", "1I", "Pw", "Gw", "Aw", "Dw", etc. Do golf clubs used in Korea have the same acronyms? I believe that "W" is for "wood", "I" is for "iron", "PW" is for "pitching wedge", etc.
Do Korean golf clubs use the same acronyms? |

34 mins confidence:  | acronyms found on golf clubs 피칭웨지(PW), 어프로치웨지(AW), 샌드웨지(SW), 로브웨지(LW), 1번 아이언(1I)
Explanation:
As far as I know, you need to translate those acronyms into Korean like the following style. It is the best translation.
피칭웨지(PW), 어프로치웨지(AW), 샌드웨지(SW), 로브웨지(LW), 1번 아이언(1I)
When a new acronym comes up in the text, you translate the acronym into Korean plus English acronym with parenthesis. Later the above-mentioned acronym comes up, you just translate it to Korean term only.
