message: Terminology.. or is it kidology?
I keep seeing the term oversize when referring to clubs. As a 6ft 4inch giant I am interested in clubs that are oversize ..i.e. longer - but the term oversize seems to be splashed around as marketing speak to cover large head size  can an explanation of the term be added?Pete Yates (86.141.74.91 19:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I have neither heard of nor could find a single reference to any golf club called a "Bennett Club" (checked Google and Yahoo). Even if it were to exist, it would not be a standard name for a golf club. Also, the paragraph was unecessary and only an attempt at humor, given it's reference to someone missing a bus and screaming after it. It has been removed. Thunderstorm144 20:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The wiki link for Cleveland Golf should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Golf
I don't know how to change it.  Do the honors? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 162.129.251.17 (talk) 17:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is getting a bit long.  There is lots of information here, but I'm not sure that an article on general golf equipment should go into as much detail as it does.  That being said, the information seems to be very good and for the most part correct (Thanks, Liko81!).  So,  I propose that the article be split into articles such as Wood (golf), Iron (golf), Shaft (golf), etc.  I'd hate to see this information go to waste (either by being reverted or by getting lost in the depth of this article), but I do think that this article's scope is currently too broad.

replies: text: I would agree with this solution.  I would even go so far as to say that creating an individual article on Hybrids would not be a bad idea--we could certainly fill it with plenty of information (history of hybrids, similarities and differences to irons/woods, etc).  But I could go along with putting hybrids in with the woods article, as well.  Let's see if anyone else chimes in with opinions, but I think all this sounds pretty reasonable!

replies: text: Looks like no one else has any bright ideas. If you think you can find enough information on hybrids for it to become its own article, the resulting structure would be more normalized. I will leave that article to you and work on developing irons and woods. Liko81 13:44, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The golf types should have their own articles, while you keep golf club construction and characteristics in the main article. Very simple. JAF1970 17:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Under "Club Types" heading, why are there two sub-headings labeled "Wedges"? 

message: The Club names and attributes section has a lot of redundancies with earlier sections, the distances don't add much, and the misuse of archaic names of clubs is totally unacceptable.  The spoon, mashie, and niblick deserve mention in this article, but in a history of golf clubs section, not here.  I'm deleting this section, and will write the club history section soon.

message: "These shafts offer the same flex throughout most of the shaft, in order to attain the "whip" required to propel the ball properly..."
Show me the physics behind this sentence! Since golf swing is a constantly accelerating movement through the impact zone there cannot be any whip-like effect. Right? --192.100.124.218 (talk) 12:27, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
