A 5 wood is equivalent to what iron?

A 5 wood usually has a loft of around 18 degrees which is equivilent to many 2 irons. Interestingly Tiger Woods for each tournament either chooses to have his 5 wood in the bag so he can hit the ball higher and get it to stop on the greens or use the 2 iron so he can hit the ball lower and get it running along the fairway. He did this to great effect in the British Opens of 2005 at St. Andrews and 2006 at Hoylake where he took the 2 iron instead of the 5 wood and hit the 2 iron off nearly every tee, rarely touching his driver. He did so because he is known for his erratic driving and because the fairways were so hard he got plenty of run on the ball, he went on to win both these events.

Where does the power in golf come from down swing or back swing?

Well, if by "back swing", you refer to the rest of your swing after hitting the ball... then it's probably down. Also, I've never seen someone hit the ball away from the hole to make it go towards the whole... be neat though. Anyway, I'm no expert, but I'd really say that, yeah, it's the "down swing". Just make sure to also then move it foreward to hoit the ball.

How do you use your handicap when playing stableford rules?

Normally you would play stableford against your personal par, so you would alter par according to your handicap. So if you had a 25 handicap you would add 1 to par on the 11 easiest holes and add 2 on the 7 hardest holes.

So a double bogey on the #1 handicap hole would score like a par and score two points, a par on the #18 handicap hole would score like a birdie and score three points, while a triple bogey on the same hole would score like a double and score zero.

See Rule 32.

A golf push car goes uphill ok, but it is basically like dragging your bg up the hill. The best example I can think of is that you are trying to pull a fully loaded duffle bag up a steep hill.
