brassie

Five years ago a customer scooped up an entire row of “brassies.”

At Colonial that year, Ben Hogan took me to his plant in Fort Worth and gave me a club that was stamped "3" on the bottom but was really a strong brassie, or 2-wood.

Everyone has to use the same persimmon niblicks and mashies and brassies, or whatever.

“That reminds me, I found a brassie up in the hills.”

One can only assume that when Old Tom Morris and Willie Park, Sr. engaged in some friendly trash talk back in the day, it was about how one got more distance with his brassie.
