The present participle of cleek: the act of striking a golf ball with a cleek, or grasping and pulling with a hook-like motion.
From the gerund form of 'cleek,' adding the -ing suffix to the base verb. This follows the standard English pattern for creating continuous or habitual forms of actions.
Cleeking represents an almost extinct golf verb—if you learned golf before 1950, you'd know exactly what this meant, but today it's purely historical, making it a perfect example of how specialized vocabulary dies when the technology it describes becomes obsolete.
