Golf aficionados are excited over a new golf club that they only became aware of this week - with a Hebrew name.
From GolfWeek:
Bryson DeChambeau, who opened with a 7-under 65 in the first round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, is playing with a custom set of single-length irons made by little-known clubmaker Avoda that are made by 3-D printing and weren’t approved by the USGA until Monday. With no hesitation, DeChambeau inserted them in the bag at the Masters.Avoda is a Hebrew word with multiple meanings, one of which is precision. According to Avoda’s website, the company makes two different types of irons, one-length irons like the clubs DeChambeau played when he was sponsored by Cobra, and combo-length irons.
Well, "avoda" does not mean precision - it means labor, or work - but the clubs have a Hebrew word printed on them, "diyuk/דיוק," which does mean "precision."
You can even buy their caps with the Hebrew word:
Apparently, DeChambeau has played better this week than he has in years.
I have no idea if Bailey is Jewish or how he came up with the names.
But it is sort of cool to see Hebrew on golf clubs.
