An old type of golf club with a brass sole plate that was used for long-distance shots.
From 'brass' + the suffix -ey; named after the brass plate on the club's bottom that struck the ground and ball.
Brassey clubs were essential in Victorian golf—their heavy brass soles glided across rough grass and sand with less friction than wooden clubs, making them the high-tech innovation of 1800s golf!
