The term 'brassie' is a type of golf CLUB used in the sport of golf. It is a WOOD CLUB with a long shaft and a shallow face, and is usually made of BRASS. The term is derived from the combination of the words 'BRASS' and 'WOOD, ' which refer to the materials used to make the CLUB. The MASHIE is a similar CLUB, but it has a shorter shaft and a deeper face. Both clubs are used for long-distance shots, and are often used by professional golfers.
