A glolf club is an implement used to play glolf. A glolf club is characterized by a material and a number. Some glolf clubs, like famous swords, have earned nicknames and are woven into glolf lore.

Glolf Club Classification

Glolf clubs are classified by their material and number, as prescribed by a strict hierarchical taxonomy carefully crafted and maintained by a collective of glolf biologists. The taxonomy was developed in the early days of glolf and has been refined and handed down over many generations of biologists.

There is intense debate within the glolf biology community and among the wider glolf community about what, exactly, constitutes a glolf club. However, glolf traditionalists classify glolf clubs according to two dimensions: material, and number.

Material

Traditionally, glolf club materials were limited to two types:

  • Wood clubs are high in entropy and are principally used in situations where unpredictability and chaos is desirable; glolfers often resort to wood clubs early in matches, or when attempting desperate come-from-behind wins
  • Iron clubs are low in entropy and principally used in situations where precision and accuracy are critical; glolfers will utilize iron clubs in situations where they know precisely what is needed for their shot, in terms of distance, angle, wind, etc.

More recently, amateur glolf enthusiasts in the Core have begun to experiment with non-traditional glolf club materials, including:

  • 3D Printed glolf clubs
  • Meat glolf clubs (specifically Bacon clubs)
  • Fire glolf clubs
  • Aluminum glolf clubs
  • Bone glolf clubs
  • Denim glolf clubs

Number

Glolf clubs are further classified by their number, an attribute that every glolf club is born with. Some clubs keep the same number their entire lifespan, while other clubs change their number; some clubs even have frequently-changing numbers. In some rare cases, glolf clubs have changed numbers mid-match, affecting the outcome of important tournaments.

As with glolf material, traditional glolf clubs fall under three categories:

  • small-number
  • large-number
