“This is a niblick,” Detective Sergeant George Watters held up the golf club.
“A niblick,” Marie repeated the name dutifully and gently took hold of the club. “That’s a strange name. What’s it for? Is it for niblicking?”
“When your ball gets stuck in a hole or a rut, you’ll need a special club to dig it out. That’s when you use the niblick,” Watters told her. “And this one,” he held up another club, “is a shafted driver, used for long drives. You hit a long drive at the beginning of each hole. You will want to belt the ball, so it travels a long distance.”
“A shafted driver for long drives,” Marie examined the second club, repeating Watters words. “For belting the ball long distances.”
“That’s right,” Watters approved. “And this is a baffie for lofting the ball.”
