Sunday Stick or Sabbath Stick can be used in two ways. The first definition of a Sabbath Stick could mean a prohibition of golf every Sunday, and the second meaning is a walking cane that comes in the shape of a golf club head. Most of the earlier golf clubs were made out of wood, without any standard or definite shape. However, as sports began to renowned worldwide, many people have analyzed to implement a standard for clubs.
The History of the Sunday Stick
This belief originated by the Church of Scotland's discouragement of playing golf during Sunday. The people were once stubborn to make believe that golf clubs are cranes every Sunday, and when the church leaders turned their backs, the golfer will reverse the stick and play some strokes. Eventually, they tagged it as "Sunday Clubs" or "Sunday Sticks" because the canes were fashioned like a golf club.
The First Appearance of a Sunday Stick
Sabbath Sticks look like a normal golf stick. It's in the form of a long-nosed putter, either made of wood or iron. Wooden clubs are made heavier because they can produce a great impact on the ball. Although this was considered an effective golf club, yet they were used for execution purposes only. As of today's use of the Sabbath Stick, they are using the numbering system even though these were made of wood.
Brassie as a Sabbath Club
The Sabbath Clubs can also be called as a Brassie, where it is known as the second-longest club, which is great in shooting from hard grounds. Brassie is made of brass, alloy, copper, and zinc, which is durable enough to handle on hard grounds. The brassie was made different from a traditional wood club, which is loftier. This was eventually becoming more popular before the 20th century.
A Mockery of Religion
The Church of Scotland was the first to implement a banning system for Sunday Sticks every Sunday because people are using this to mock their religion. Some people are posing this as a cane, but the truth is they are reversing it when the preacher turned back or out of their sight. During worship service, church people used to play golf, which pushed church leaders to impose discipline.
