I was reading a book. I know, pretty rad. But, while reading said book, I came across a word that made my toes tingle with excitement.
Mashie Niblick.
Okay, so it's kinda like two words, but still, you feel the tingle.
The mashie niblick is a golf club! I know! How awesome is that! Golf clubs used to have SUPER FUN NAMES! I guess the game wasn't boring enough, so they stopped using cool names and decided to call all of them woods and irons.
But did you know that there used to be a Brassie?! YEAH! You might even hit something with a Spoon! Maybe take a few shots with a Jigger!
Okay, that last sentence sounds more like a night at a bar, but isn't that how golf usually ends (OOOOOOH! GOLF ZINGER!)
It would be sooooo much more fun listening to the announcers, too.
"Well Berthold, it looks like he's going to play with his Cleek here."
" Yes Shelby, but it would probably be better if he used his Mashie."
"Really Berthold. That's the club you would use. REALLY?! Why don't you just suggest his Baffing Spoon! That would make just as much sense! ...mashie...I work with a bunch of niblicks..."
"..."
WOAH! Those old-time golf announcers are mean! But way more fun!
I'm off to play with my Mashie Niblick.
Enjoy Everything.
