mashie
Old golf club
A mashie is an old-fashioned golf club, roughly equivalent to a modern 5-iron.
The term belongs to a system of named irons—mashie, niblick, spoon—that preceded numbered clubs.
Golf writing and nostalgic references still use it: He pulled out his trusty mashie for the approach shot.
