Typically clubs are selected for the different distances they hit the ball. For the average female I have been given the following distances as a guideline:

1 wood 160 meters
3 wood 140 meters
5 wood 120 meters
7 wood 100 meters
3 iron 120 meters
4 iron 110 meters
5 iron 100 meters
6 iron 90 meters
7 iron 80 meters
8 iron 70 meters
9 iron 60 meters
Pitching Wedge 50 meters
Sand Wedge 40 meters

Give or take 10 metres for hilly or windy conditions.
