When you think of sports equipment-as-ImprovisedWeapon, you probably think of a [[BatterUp baseball bat]]. But thugs who want to be a bit different, perhaps show a bit more class, reach instead for their 9-iron. Where the former is essentially a [[CarryABigStick big stick]], your golf club is more like a [[DropTheHammer hammer]], with all the weight concentrated on the point of impact.
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.
Bonus points if the wielder says "FORE!" when attacking.
