Plural of cleek: long-headed iron golf clubs used mostly in Scotland and historical golf, or plural of the verb meaning to hook or grasp something.
From Scottish golf terminology, derived from the same root as 'cleek.' The noun plural follows standard English rules by adding -s to the singular form.
Cleeks represent a fascinating chapter in golf history—Scottish craftsmen designed these clubs hundreds of years ago, and their names (like 'mashie' and 'spoon') created a whole vocabulary that modern golfers find completely mysterious because equipment standardization replaced this poetic naming.
