I have a favorite old club...a 24 degree Cleek...andcarried it in my bag for a long time until I got a similarly lofted hybrid. That old cleek is a Taylormade Metalwood from the 80's.
Recently one of my golfing buddies gave me a 15 degree Cleek...same brand, same design, that he'd bought it at a garage sale for $3 dollars. So I put a new grip on the $3 dollar cleek and hit some balls with it. What a sweet hitting club. Kinda like the old TM Metalwood Fairway 3 but with the turf ridges on the bottom and not quite as big a clubhead. Since I don't carry a 2 iron, I am tempted to put it in my bag for a few rounds and maybe leave my 3 wood at home.
Cleek...I just love that word! Almost as much as Mashie.
Modern golf seems to have gotten away from some of the traditions that made it such a glorious game to begin with.
