I believe they were made of cherry wood
Golf Clubs were orignally made out of wood. They later advanced and were made out of titanium Persimmon wood was the type of wood used before switching to metal
There are different categories of golf clubs some of them are listed below Wood Irons Hybrids Wedges Putters
Because A Club Is Usually A Long Stick, And Its Used To Play Golf, So Its Called A Golf Club.
Most clubs are made of wood, fiberglass, titanium, and light weight aluminum. You can also purchase clubs that are a combination of materials. There are many clubs on the market that exceed PGA standards for size, weight and loft capabilities.
Usually in a complete men's set of golf clubs comes a driver, 3 wood, 5 wood (or hybrids), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9, irons, a putter and a pitching wedge and a sand wedge. Also some pro golfers add more wedges to their bag like a lob wedge.
They were made of wood
Burke persimmon woods and irons from the 30's to the 50's were very well made and the Persimmon used was air dried which in my opinion made better Persimmon wood Golf clubs. What a set of Burke Recorder Persimmon woods are worth? I paid $30.00 for a driver and 2 wood in "fair" condition. My source of knowledge is from the Ralph Maltby/Golfworks 1999 Golf Club Identification and Price Guide. Mr.B.M.Phillips - Canada - Maxwell1956@cogeco.ca

Yes. The 3+ is a lower lofted 3 wood that is usually half an inch longer in length.
3-wood golf clubs are often used off the turf or on tee shots. There are many guide on the internet, for example on Dummies, which help finding the right golf club.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing. There is however rescue clubs (also known as hybrids), these are clubs which are a blend of a wood and an iron, they have the loft of a long iron, and the shape of a wood. It has a shorter shaft for a better attack angle and more control.
