A couple of years ago, a friend (who is probably reading this and yes, let’s get holiday beers next week) left a golf club behind after house sitting, telling us it was a good thing to have around.
I hadn’t thought about it since then until hearing a lyric in Kenn Kweder’s “Places that “he keeps his golf clubs in the kitchen, in case there’s trouble in the bar”.
Does anyone keep a golf club around the house, just in case?
The best thing to keep around is one you fel confident using, know how to use, and most effectively eliminates the threat. Hate to say it but gun is the only thing that checkes these boxes for me and most people unless they are trained in hand to hand combat and they get training and practice.
That being said. Baseball bat over a golf club all day long.
Edit: my point is; missed me with letting someone get close enough to touch me if I can at all help it.
So is someomg going to downvote me for something other than the gun reference? Like, doyou have better ideas? Is everyone karate certified? Oh right, it's reddit where we downvote without suggesting alternatives.
Have a bat like a normal person
2nd Amendment guarantees my right to bare irons.
Bats and golf clubs, children's versions, easy to swing hard. Had to be reminded that the golf club might just get stuck in someone's skull.

I’m an absolute golf fanatic so, yes. I have a 6 iron by my door and a pitching wedge next to the bed.
It's a bad situation when your golf club is stuck in a zombie's skull and there are 2 more coming after you.
I hear Shaolin spades are great for keeping your distance. 6-7' should be enough.

Think close quarters. Can you swing it in your hallway? Get a mini bat or crow bar

Golf clubs aren't that great for handling trouble. They can easily bend or break.
Best, as others suggested, is a bat or baton. I still have my oak bokken from when I used to practice Iaido. You can really do some damage with a strong bit of wood.
(that's what she said)
I was shocked when my cousins who lived in jersey told me they didn’t keep a bat near the front door.
Just figured they were mandatory as a kid
Only when paired with a high capacity spade dispenser.
A golf club is too easy for someone to wrench away from you. A hammer is what you want to have handy. You don't need to be super strong for it to be effective, either.
Go watch "Nobody" starring Bob Odenkirk. It features a scene with him using one in a home invasion robbery.
You can't "that's what she said" yourself
I can do whatever I want!
why not. deer are not to be fucked with. could happen.
No way, too self indulgent. That's like giving yourself an award
This! Mini bars are great, smaller and lighter than a regular bat, if you miss it’s quicker to recover and swing again compared to a full size bat.
Thank you all
Golf club is iffy. That first hit could cause the entire head to detach from the shaft.
I prefer a Bat'leth.
This is the way
I’m picturing myself going up against someone with a golf club or a hammer and I think my chances are better with the guy with hammer. Any dipshit can swing a golf club but can anyone be effective with a hammer… maybe not
These are the conversations that bring me to Reddit
I'm not particularly strong. I could absolutely do more damage with a hammer to the head than with a golf club.
But that’s the thing, if you’re a weakling, a golf club is easier to swing
That’s because they don’t live in the City of Brotherly Love.
I keep a length of rebar in my room for this purpose. I assume anything that is swing easily by the wielder and has some heft is effective
Titanium hip has a big knob on one end and a nice weight to bop someone. I used to keep one in my car
Just wanted to say I love Kenn Kweder.
Are you coming to the “secret” Peck millers show tonight? 8 pm at pecks, ridge and green in Roxborough.
No cover
WOW! Leg them in the head!
I keep my old 4-iron by my bed, because I never miss with my 4-iron.
I keep a crowbar under my driver's seat and an aluminum baseball bat on the passenger side. The last time I had the car inspected, the mechanic asked if I played baseball. Looked him dead in the eyes. "No." I think he got it.
The crowbar is great for when I'm standing at the gas pump, if needed. A crowbar says "crazy," and there's some protection that comes with that label. Don't approach me. Don't talk to me. I'm not the one. Solo female gotta take care of herself.

>That first hit could cause the entire head to detach
Well yea that's what we're going for!
>head to detach from the shaft
No, no, no! Not what we're going for!
I'll keep my head attached to my shaft, tyvm
Louisville slugger right next to the bed
Golf club is too bendy, you want a bat, hammer , or hatchet.
That’s What she said.

It’s better than not having a golf club
