The most forgiving irons are those which have very 'chunky' heads, you should look for something along the lines of Callway and even Ping are very good. The idea of the forgiving clubs is that they have a low c.o.g and are easily able to get the ball up in the air.

golf pegs are actually called "tee"
In golf, a tee is normally used for the first stroke of each hole. The area from which this first stroke is hit is informally known as the teeing ground. Normally, teeing the ball is allowed only on the first shot of a hole, called the tee shot, and is illegal for any other shot; however, local or seasonal rules may allow or require teeing for other shots as well, e.g., under "winter rules" to protect the turf when it is unusually vulnerable. Teeing gives a considerable advantage for drive shots, so it is normally done whenever allowed. However, a player may elect to play his/her tee shot without a tee. This typically gives the shot a lower trajectory.
A standard golf tee is 2.125" (two and one eighth inches) long, but both longer and shorter tees are permitted and are preferred by some players. Now, designs of these golf tees have a slight adjustment with the holster for the ball, better known as zero friction or more trajectory tees. These generally have a tri-holster, which some people find hard to balance the ball on. Ordinary tees can be made from wood or from durable plastic. There are also many biodegradable, ecological and recycable golf tees that diminish the number trees cut down to manufacture the tees and allow golf courses to lower costs by not having to deal with the broken wooden tees on their courses.
yup! peg for golf is also a word tee..

What is the best adhesive to use on golf clubs?
Actually don't go with the golf specialty glues. Why? Because they know that most any epoxy will work and thus they don't give you specifics of the strengths of the glue and thus some are better than others. Some companies are more concerned about margin and thus use the cheapest epoxy that will work.
The fact is most experienced club makers use epoxies you can buy in any hardware or auto parts store.
Look for epoxies that have a working range up to about 200 Fahrenheit (which is most epoxies). This is a good range for keeping the head on, but being able to get it off easily.
Although it's true most all epoxies take 24 hrs to fully cure. The fast curing options get to what they call "functional" cure as quickly at 45 minutes. The functional cure is all you need to go out and use the club.
Best fast drying option is the Devcon 5 minute epoxy.
I have seen suggestions that the gel should be used. Typically you will see the gels rated higher for tensile strength. The problem is that they are rated at a higher thickness usually .01 inches. They typically rate the epoxies at their optimum thickness. The problem is that the the thickness you need is much less than this. So the epoxies for use in clubmaking you actually want to avoid the gels. They will work, just not quite as well as normal epoxies. Anything rated 1500 or higher is just fine. The other problem with gels is because they are thicker you actually don't get quite as even coating as you will with the normal stuff.
I wouldn't recommend anything that's not a 2 part epoxy. The single part stuff is just not strong enough. If you have the special "golf" no mix epoxy you don't have to throw it away. It's usually the really quick setting stuff. I don't recommend using it, your heads will eventually fly off, but you could easily hit a club 20 times with this glue. Just make sure you put the glue on, stick the shaft into the head and adjust the head all within 30 seconds. The biggest mistake with this quick drying stuff is it will get a little sticky and you move the head to align with the grip. Doing this really weakens the glue and you will have the head fly off after a few hits.
