Golfing consists of more than just owning a set of golf clubs and playing the game of golf. It takes knowledge of the game as well as knowledge of your golf equipment, especially the golf clubs or irons and which golf iron is best. The 1-iron is one that has been speculated about for many years. Although, you can still get them, they are very rare and seldom used. 1-irons came about in the 1920s, and were used with some accuracy by experienced golf professionals like Jack Nicklaus or Ben Hogan. The average golfer found the 1-iron much more work than they were worth. Why struggle with a big 1-iron when you can use a smaller iron and get a much more accurate shot was most golfers’ theory.
