GOLF CLUBS AND THE THREE DEPARTMENTS OF PLAY

Golf is easy to play because the club does the work.

The first officially recognized set of golf clubs consisted of four clubs:

(1) a driver, for the long distance shots from the tee

(2) a brassie, so called because of a protective brass plate on the bottom of the club was used for distance shots from the fairway

(3) a baffie, a club with considerable loft on the face so that it raised the ball high into the air-this club was used for approach shots to the green

(4) a putter, designed to roll the ball on the ground and used to roll the ball into the cup.

An interesting thing about these first golf clubs is that they were made of wood, but all in one piece, much like a hockey stick.

As the game developed and one-piece models became difficult to supply, there was ingeniously conceived the splice model club with its head and shaft glued together on an angle (or a splice) and the joining wrapped with strong waxed cord.

Next came the socket model where the shaft was joined to the head by being inserted into a bore-and this type of construction prevails today.

Then came a great invention-a curious soul discovered that instead of using a bulky wood head at the end of the shaft, the ball would stop quickly if the end of the club was an iron blade. Thus were introduced into golf the irons, which stopped the ball as against the woods which ran the ball.

So for distance shots, the woods or drivers continued to be used. continue golf clubs and the three departments of play...
