really uses any more. The modern nicknames should not be used in polite
conversation such as that on RSG.

Typical:
Putter: Wand. Flat stick. Scooper. Sniff-stick.
Irons: Utes. (You-tts) I think this came from "utilities..."
weed-whackers. blades. groovers.
Driver: ooh,boy, ya ready? "Let the big dog eat..."
Big Boy. Big stick. Emporer. King. (As in ...Grab the
King...")
Woods: Metals. Sounders. Pingers. Heavy heads.
Strange stick...such as "rescue woods..".etc.. Hmmm, come to think of it I
have not heard any knick-names on these...keep your ears open, gang.
Really. I've heard it all! Some names above were uttered just once in a
casual round, but hey, I've got a mind that remebers things I hear...
I only wrote the ones that were not typical.
Later,
Good luck,

I guess my clubs bring out the sentimental side in me. Many of the names
for my clubs start with Mother.....

I sometimes call mine Brownie, because of the Brownian-like motion of the ball
as it bobs and weaves around and away from the hole.

He had a lot of trouble with it and started referring to it as his F*** (not
flop) wedge.

Reminds me of the joke about the good player, in a group of hackers,
when asked about why each shot of theirs went awry always answered "loft
is your problem" When asked why "loft" for all answers, he explained
that it was an acronym;
Lack Of F****** Talent.

www.hickorygolf.com has a good bit of golf club history (unfortunately
their pages for the "gutta percha" and "feathery" era are not yet
complete).
However, the "rubber ball era" page at
http://www.hickorygolf.com/HGPages/Rubberball/10club.html
has very detailed descriptions of old club nicknames.
There is also a very useful table of old club specifications at
http://www.hickorygolf.com/HGPages/Rubberball/08chart.html which shows
the modern iron equivalents, viz
2-iron Driving mashie
3-iron Push iron
4-iron Mid-iron
5-iron Mongrel Mashie
6-iron 2 Mashie
7-iron Mid Mashie
8-iron Spade Mashie
9-iron Mashie Niblick
PW Niblick
Wooden clubs were driver, brassie, spoon and cleek (in order of loft).
The modern "rescue" and "trouble" clubs are just the Baffy and the
Bulldog re-invented. I'm waiting for Orlimar to bring out the tri-metal
Baffy! ;-)

Alright, after yesterday, all of my irons have a new nickname. It starts
with "s" and ends with "k." S - H - * - * - K!
No
nicknames and would like to find out a few more.
BTW the best way to deal with one's clubs is to tell each one that it is
your favorite, and that it should not tell the others.
I also tried sleeping with my driver one night so that we could bond. My
wife threw us both out! We (my driver and I) spent the night on the couch.
We are much closer now and my driving is fantastic. My wife is another
story.
