Golf Club
Golf club can mean several things:
For the piece of sports equipment, see golf club (equipment)
For an organization (whether non-profit or for profit) enrolling members and maintaining a golf course for their use, see country club.
For an organised group of golfers, see golf club (institution)
Golf Club (Equipment)
Golf is played with golf clubs of various types. There are four major categories of clubs, known as ''woods'', hybrids, ''irons'', and ''putters''. ''Wedges'' resemble irons and may also be counted among these. A golfer is allowed to carry up to fourteen clubs during a round.
While it is possible to play a range of different shots using only one club, modifying only the speed and direction of swing, this is not a particularly successful technique. It is much easier to keep the swing as constant as possible and achieve different lengths and characteristics of ball flight using a different club for each shot. To facilitate the choice of a club for any particular situation, all irons (and many woods and wedges) come in sets of similar clubs graded by loft (see below), shaft length, and weight. Clubs are numbered for identification with the smallest numbers indicating the lower lofts (a 5 iron has less loft than a 6 iron).
Various clubs are designed with the face having differing ''loft'' (the angle between a vertical plane and the clubface when the club is at rest). Loft makes a golf ball leave the ground on an ascending trajectory, not an upward direction of swing: with the exception of the tee shot, the club actually hits the ball in a slightly downward motion. The impact of the clubface compresses the ball. Grooves on the clubface impart a counterclockwise (from a parallel view of the swing) spin, known as backspin, on the ball, that when combined with the rebounding effect of the ball, give it lift. Typically, the greater the loft, the higher and shorter the resulting ball trajectory.
A typical set of clubs generally consisted of 2 woods, 2 wedges, a putter, and 9 irons, numbered 1-9. This has changed greatly in the last 25 years, as most players have opted to take 2, or even as many as 5, of the difficult-to-hit longer irons out of the bag in favor of higher lofted woods, known as fairway woods, and extra "utility" wedges.

As a non golfer i have found these pages useful. However a defn of a Niblick and a Mashie would be useful, as would help understanding "sweet spots" shaft stiffness and why the cc of a wood head is important. Rich Farmbrough 21:23, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Prestwick Golf Club
Prestwick Golf Club is located in the town of Prestwick on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland. It is approximately 30 miles southwest of Scotland's largest city, Glasgow.
The club was founded in 1851, and Old Tom Morris was the club's "Keeper of the Green, Ball and Club Maker" for a number of years. Prestwick is famous as the initial sponsor of The Open Golf Championship, the oldest of golf's four major championships. The first Open was held in 1860 and the winner was presented with a red morocco belt with silver clasps purchased by the members at a cost of £25. The club staged all the Opens up to 1870 and remained in the rotation until 1925, hosting the championship 24 times in all. Prestwick has also staged the British Amateur Championship on a number of occasions.
At the time of the early open championships the course had 12 holes, but in the later decades of the 19th century 18 became established as the standard number of holes on a course, and Prestwick was eventually extended to this. Unlike some of Scotland's other leading courses, Prestwick is a private members' club, but visitors may book to play the course on most days of the week.
