Might be an old deflection board. Hard to say from the angle. If you provide a couple more pics from other angles I might have a better/more definitive answer.

It appears, to me, that the large piece is meant to accept a shafted club head.  If so...it may have been used to hold the face vertical while aligning the lettering on a shaft...just after installing it.  I can't think of any reason such a set-up would be necessary but who knows?  

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

The head of an iron shaft goes into the large part at the end.  The shaft is then slightly bent to fit into the  the two at the center and the front.  The club is then held in place by the stiffness of the shaft being bent slightly so it can be gripped.  

The whole idea is that the club head is aligned vertically and held in place for gripping.

      In How Many Countries Have You Played Golf?

      By LIGolfer55 ·

      I have played in Scotland and Ireland at some of the top 100 courses in the world including Royal County Down rated number 1, The Old Course, and Carnoustie as well as many others. I was lucky enough to travel with Matty Adams, John Maginnes, and Mark Carnevale as well as a great group of Golf Channel followers. I also have played in Canada, Bermuda, and Jamaica.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By Bluefin646 ·

      Maxfli Tour, shop dick’s deals, add $20 coupon when u spend $100, 4 Dzn for $90 plus tax and shipping…it’s def worth the exercise…let me know how they feel…or just buy a 3 pack to test…have to give them a try…not a better quality / price point out there right now in the ball market…

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By Bluefin646 ·

      Interesting that no one is gaming the maxfli tour, whether the Tour, the S, or the X….it’s a quality urethane ball and a mid-level price sub $30 / dozen….and Maxfli Tour players out here….I will be playing it next summer as I just stocked up on them….4 dozen for $110 and Dicks has the occasional spend $100, get $20 off which drops it even lower…so far my preference is X just slightly ahead of Tour, and the S trailing pretty far behind…Like many of you, I have played many different balls over the years and trying to dial in a ball / price combo that works…so far the Maxfli Tour and Tour X are my front runners.     fyi, so far, dick’s is not paying me any promo / nil money, lol.   Happy New Year Y’all!
