I just add the "unreferenced" template to the top of the page. The <a href=" http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1008207/index.htm">first reference</a> does not discuss clubs at all, and should probably be removed. <a href=" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/05/AR2008080503291.html">The second</a> only mentions that changes are being made to grooves, which is relevant where it is cited, but not helpful for anything else in the article. nhinchey ( talk) 03:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
I have already stated this at the wood page, but I have a fairly extensive collection of golf clubs, rare, old, and new. I've been getting pics of them up. I'll try to fill out the irons page with example pics of most of the listed types of iron. I can supply modern high end forged, modern name brand cavity back, early cavity backs, early oversized cavity backs, hybrids, old blades, muscle backs, and the like. I'll be doing this within the next few days. ReignMan ( talk) 04:20, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
