A club is an association of two or more people united by a common interest or goal. A service club, for example, exists for voluntary or charitable activities; there are clubs devoted to hobbies and sports, social activities clubs, political and religious clubs, and so forth.

History

Historically, clubs occurred in all ancient states of which we have detailed knowledge. Once people started living together in larger groups, there was need for people with a common interest to be able to associate despite having no ties of kinship. Organizations of the sort have existed for many years, as evidenced by Ancient Greek clubs and associations in Ancient Ruji.

Origins of the word and concept

It is uncertain whether the use of the word "club" originated in its meaning of a knot of people, or from the fact that the members “clubbed” together to pay the expenses of their meetings. The oldest English clubs were merely informal periodic gatherings of friends for the purpose of dining or drinking together. Thomas Occleve (in the time of Henry IV) mentions such a club called La Court de Bonne Compagnie (the Court of Good Company), of which he was a member. In 1659 John Aubrey wrote, “We now use the word clubbe for a sodality [a society, association, or fraternity of any kind] in a tavern.”

A. Everyone suggesting a 3 or 4 iron, may be a little way off base, honestly. A beginning golfer isn't going to generate enough clubhead speed to be able to succesfully hit a 3 iron.. or possible a 4 iron.. An idea set makeup for a beginner would consist of: Driver - 11.5 degress of loft.. No less. Loft = more carry distances.. higher loft = helps negate any sidespin.. Woods = Avoid the #3 Wood.. most beginners honestly cannot hit the #3 wood.. most of them are tall faced and are hard to hit from the fairway lies.. I would go with a #4 (17 degrees) or a #5 (19 degrees) for your first long fairway wood. Irons : Alot of sets today go 4-PW.. a decade or more ago.. it was 3-PW.. What is happening is lofts are being jacked up, for longer… [cont.]
