/ˈbræsi/ noun

Definition

An alternative spelling of brassey; a golf club with a brass sole plate.

Etymology

Variant spelling of 'brassey,' representing different spelling conventions from the 19th century. Both refer to the same golf club design.

Kelly Says

Early golf equipment had wildly different spellings because golf terminology was still being standardized—'brassie,' 'brassey,' and 'brassy' all meant the same club, and golfers argued about spelling just like we do on the internet today!
