mashie (plural mashies)

- Florence L. Harvey (1916-01) “Chilly Days and Muddy Courses”, in Golfers Magazine, volume 28, number 1, Chicago, page 9: “Do not think that is because I do not value a mashie, on the contrary it is my favorite club and one with which I am far surer than any other, in dry weather.”
