Video games have objectives. These objectives tend to boil down to about six basic goals, and several variations and modifiers. These are those objectives. Common objectives include: Escape, or get to the exit.
A SW is a Sand Wedge, normally about 56 degrees of loft. It has a large bounce angle meant to bounce through sand and not dig in. I think the AW may be an auxiliary wedge, usually around 52 degrees loft. Anyway, it's going to be in between your pitching wedge, PW, and your sand wedge, SW. The AW is used a lot around greens for shots that require some loft on the shot, but ultimately need to hit the green and roll.
The angle of the face of the club with respect to the shaft is called loft. Drivers, 2 and 3 irons have very little loft. Wedges, and short irons have considerable loft by design. And, as your intuition tells you, the more highly lofted a club is, the higher will be the trajectory of your ball. Loft angles are expressed in degrees with respect to vertical rather than the ground. A high-lofted club, such as a sand wedge would have a loft somewhere about 55-degrees. Lob wedges can go as high as 64-degrees. But that's about the practical limit for a club. You only need about 60-degrees to make a perfect flop shot.
