What does MASHIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
An old golf club with a short iron head, used for medium-range approach shots.
The mashie sat roughly where the five iron sits in a modern set and was played to lift the ball onto the green. Golfers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries relied on it, and the name later gave way to numbered irons. The word is probably of Scots origin, and it survives in old golf writing and in the name of the mashie-niblick.
