Root Explanation

Clubface → The word is formed from "club" (from Old English *clyppe*, meaning a heavy stick or cudgel) and "face" (from Latin *facies*, meaning surface or appearance). The term "clubface" refers to the striking surface of a golf club, combining the idea of a heavy stick with its surface.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'heavy stick' ('club') with a 'surface' ('face') that you use to strike the ball in golf — that's what a clubface is.
