While a modern set of club is limited to 14 clubs, there is no certain number of clubs in a hickory set. Frances Ouimet only carried 7 clubs when he won the U.S. Open. Players like Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen carried over 20 clubs in their bag. Most people who play hickory golf today, carry between 7 and 14 clubs in their bag. I would consider 7 clubs a minimum for a serious hickory golfer. These would include a Driver, fairway wood, putter, mid-iron, mashie, mashie-niblick, and niblick or some slight variation. I carry 10 clubs in my set....Driver, fairway wood, mid-iron, mashie, spade mashie, mashie niblick, 50 degree niblick, 56 degree niblick and a putter. Part of the fun of hickory golf is building a set that suits your style of play.
A mashie niblick is a type of golf club that was popular in the early 20th century. It is a shorter iron, typically used for approach shots and for hitting the ball from the fairway or rough, similar to what is now referred to as a 5-iron or 6-iron. The term "mashie" refers to the club's loft, while "niblick" signifies its short shaft and design, making it effective for navigating tricky lies. Today, the mashie niblick is largely considered a historical term, as modern golf clubs have replaced it with more standardized naming conventions.

The Wilson Mashie Niblick model No. 4003 was produced in the mid-1900s, specifically around the 1950s. The value of this club can vary significantly based on its condition, rarity, and market demand, typically ranging from $20 to $100. Collectors often seek these clubs, especially if they are in good condition or part of a complete set. For an accurate valuation, it's best to consult current listings or an appraiser specializing in vintage golf clubs.
A niblick is the name of a chipping wedge made by Cleveland golf. It is specifically made for chipping around the green.
In mashie golf, which typically refers to a form of golf played with a limited selection of clubs, players are generally required to use a mashie (equivalent to a modern 5-iron) and a putter. Depending on the specific rules of the game or the course, players might also be allowed to use a wooden club, such as a driver or spoon, for tee shots. The emphasis is on skill and strategy with fewer clubs, making for a unique golfing experience.
