3 wood…
Golf announcers have been calling ‘fairway woods’ ‘fairway metals’ for a while. But since most of them are largely made of carbon fiber these days, even that is misleading.
Isn’t wood a sort of carbon fiber composite? Can we go back to calling them woods again?

Wood is sort of a composite material, made of cellulose fibers bound with a polymer called lignin.
