History Main / GolfClubbing

* In ''Videogame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'', Kyle's weapon is a golf club, though rather than hitting people with it, he uses it to hit golf balls at his enemies.

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
** In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', the main character's traditional weaponry is two-handed swords... or, alternatively, golf clubs. The protagonist's starting weapon is one, as Yosuke had to put together fighting gear from just the stuff in his possession, as are a few later-game weapons. When he buys actual weapons(a katana and a nata) for their second expedition to the TV world, and waves them around in Junes, he and the protagonist get arrested.

* In ''Film/The51stState'', Creator/SamuelLJackson's character, [[RatedMForManly El]][[CulturedBadass mo]], manages to [[CurbStompBattle destroy]] a gang of (5?) Skinheads with one of his Golf clubs, apparently without straining himself.

* A golf club is the murder weapon in the Creator/AgathaChristie play ''Theatre/SpidersWeb''.

* In ''Fanfic/PanemReborn'' to tie in with the country club arena, the 105th Hunger Games cornucopia weapons are reinforced golf clubs with sharpened ends. Most of the tributes use them to beat their opponents to death, while Heffer uses the end of his club to slit the throats of all four Careers after driving his golf cart underwater.

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series: One of Peach's randomly-selected weapons for her forward smash attack.

* Film/DieHard2: John [=McClane=] uses a golf club against the first terrorist in the baggage area of the airport early in this installment.

* A golf club is the murder weapon in the Creator/AgathaChristie play ''Spider's Web''.

* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', there's a golf club available as one of the Demoman's many melee weapons. It's a re-skin of the [[{{BFS}} Eyelander]], meaning you can in fact [[OffWithHisHead decapitate]] opponents with a golf club.

* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' has a 9-iron weapon, and it has a special move in VATS called "Fore!", where you [[GroinAttack hit the enemy in the groin.]] This is also the WeaponOfChoice of [[MeaningfulName Driver]] Nephi, one of the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Fiend]] leaders, who carries a unique driver. Killing [[spoiler:Mr. House]] with a golf club completes the "[[VideoGame/{{Bioshock 1}} A Slave Obeys]]" challenge.

* In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990'', Casey Jones, who is known for using sports equipment as his WeaponOfChoice, uses a driver to good effect against [[TheDragon Tatsu]].

The WeaponOfChoice of the CorruptCorporateExecutive, because they're likely to [[OfficeGolf have one lying around anyway]]. They might even have several, in which case you can expect them to consult their NumberTwo on the best club for the shot. Alternately, the Number Two might [[ServileSnarker make a recommendation of their own volition part way through the assault]].

It is also obviously the WeaponOfChoice of someone whom plays golf either recreationally or as a professional Golfer.

** ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIVTheBalladOfGayTony'': Roko uses an entire shooting range for improvised torture, by tying someone to a golf cart and having a {{Mook}} drive the poor guy around wherever Roko feels like practicing his swing.

** ''VideoGame/BioShock2'': While not actually a usable weapon, while in the "Journey to the Surface" ride in Ryan Amusements, you come across a animatronic Andrew Ryan. Behind him is one of his golf clubs. If you use Telekinesis, you ''can'' use it as a weapon by throwing it at something. If you throw it at the Andrew Ryan animatronic, you get an achievement: [[spoiler:9-Irony]].\\\

* In the gamebook ''Literature/ToyTerrorBatteriesIncluded'', you're a kid trapped alone in your house with a man-sized KillerRobot stalking you. As the robot enters your dad's home office, the book gives you an option to either run from it, or [[LetsGetDangerous grab one of your dad's golf clubs]] and whack the robot from behind. Choose the latter option and the robot breaks into half, revealing it to [[MatryoshkaObject contain two mini-robots]], one evil mini-robot which is in control, and the other good mini-robot which assists you to defeat it's twin.

** In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', the main character's traditional weaponry is two-handed swords... or, alternatively, golf clubs. The protagonist's starting weapon is one, as are a few later-game weapons.
** What the page quote deliberately leaves out is that Yosuke had to put together fighting gear from just the stuff in his possession -- unlike the party of ''VideoGame/Persona3'', there weren't any multimillionaires in the group to supply them with weapons. When he buys actual weapons(a katana and a nata) for their second expedition to the TV world, and waves them around in Junes, he and the protagonist get arrested.

* In the gamebook ''Literature/ToyTerrorBatteriesIncluded'', you're a kid trapped with a man-sized KillerRobot stalking you when you're alone in your house. As the robot enters your dad's home office searching for you, the book gives you an option to either run from it, or [[LetsGetDangerous grab one of your dad's golf clubs]] and whack the robot from behind. Choose the latter option and the robot breaks into half, revealing it to [[MatryoshkaObject contain two mini-robots]], one evil mini-robot which is in control, and the other good mini-robot which assists you to take down it's twin.

* Golf Clubs are ideal [[ImprovisedWeapon improvised weapons]] for dealing with [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes venomous snakes]]. Since they're designed to hit things at ground level anyway, they're much easier to reach a snake's head with than a bat would be, and long enough to keep the user out of the snake's reach, unlike most sticks. Even better, the club end can be used as a hook to pick up and move the snake (use a second club to pin it securely) more easily than most tools if the situation is controlled enough that the snake can be moved without killing it.

* There is a game called ''[[TheSimpsons Itchy and Scratchy]] in Miniature Golf Madness''. Three guesses whether it features this trope.

* ''Film/TheresSomeoneInsideYourHouse'': When Jackson begins to fear that someone's in the house with him, he grabs a golf club to use as a weapon. He even hits some thing he suspects the intruder is hiding in/behind with it.
