Iron Club
How to make a golf club head?
I want to know how to make a 9-iron club head out of a piece of wood.
A wooden 9 iron would shatter the first time you hit it because the blade would be too thin.
If you are making one just to look at that would be different.
I would use a dense wood like rosewood, bubbinga, ebony etc.
Cut the profile out on a band saw AFTER you drill out the hosel.
( Drill the hosel while the block of wood is still square otherwise you won't be able to hold onto the piece)
Use rasps, rifflers and files to refine the shape.
Not an easy project to do well I would think, but good luck.
Some people really can decide to workout and then stay with it, no matter what. Nothing will stand in their way. In this context, one may think of characters like Rocky Balboa, assuming the reader has seen Sly Stallone's Rocky movies.
People like this can workout anywhere and win. They are just like Rocky, eating their substitute for his a raw egg, every day running through the streets of New York. That's the way an iron-willed person in training for this year's iron person competition will be. Nothing will stop them, needing no external encouragement.
But, not all of us are like that. In fact most of us are not, even if we are able to show up at the club for the lion's share of the time. We need encouragement, sometimes even prodding. That is necessary to not only get us through the plateau periods, but even possibly to show up every day for our workouts.
Some health club owners are aware of these needs and do things to be supportive. They may put up tallies of the number of visits per month during a calendar year, for example. That is, they may actually take the time to determine how often each of their members has frequented the club for a given period of time.
The people who show up often are encouraged by this type thing. They can see their name in lights as it were,making them feel special. They can feel that they were noticed doing the right things with their time and possibly even doing it more so than they the people they sometimes workout next to.
There is a lot of negative thinking about this type of awareness. It is as if knowing that someone else has shown up to workout more than them will in fact make them so discouraging that they will quit altogether. Perhaps that is true for some of us. But for how many really?
A little good health competition is good for most of us. It really does keep us on our toes, showing up for that hour of physical pain instead of spending that hour sleeping in. More of the former is almost always better than the latter when it comes to fitness. It's that every day do it whether you feel like it or not that causes the big changes down the road. A club which encourages that type of dedication is one which cares about its member. Its one where most all of us would be best off.
