A club is an association of two or more people united by a common interest or goal. A service club, for example, exists for voluntary or charitable activities; there are clubs devoted to hobbies and sports, social activities clubs, political and religious clubs, and so forth.

History

Historically, clubs occurred in all ancient states of which we have detailed knowledge. Once people started living together in larger groups, there was need for people with a common interest to be able to associate despite having no ties of kinship. Organizations of the sort have existed for many years, as evidenced by Ancient Greek clubs and associations in Ancient Ruji.

Origins of the word and concept

It is uncertain whether the use of the word "club" originated in its meaning of a knot of people, or from the fact that the members “clubbed” together to pay the expenses of their meetings. The oldest English clubs were merely informal periodic gatherings of friends for the purpose of dining or drinking together. Thomas Occleve (in the time of Henry IV) mentions such a club called La Court de Bonne Compagnie (the Court of Good Company), of which he was a member. In 1659 John Aubrey wrote, “We now use the word clubbe for a sodality [a society, association, or fraternity of any kind] in a tavern.”

A. Check out the site below, there is a listing of all parties/clubs that are being hosted on Halloween. There are no clubs downtown that are 18+, they are all 21+ but you might be able to find an event on the listing not at a club, for instance Navy Pier. Good Luck!

What kind of golf clubs should I get as a beginner?
Q. I am trying to get into golf now that I have more time away from work and some money to afford new clubs and green fees. I played in the past, but not even close to good. Just played because it was fun. Now, I am going to take lessons and try to become reasonably good, so I want to get clubs that will be good to learn with, but also be clubs that I will have for a few years. My bro-in-law recommended the new Callaway Clubs, so any info on those clubs would be greatly appreciated, or any ideas for my club selection would also be greatly appreciated!

A. You probably can't go wrong with Callaways but I wouldn't spend that kind of money. Look on ebay or callawaygolfpreowned for a used set. I bought a set of X18s used and they were in great condition(couldn't tell the difference from new). Go for a forgiving set of irons, ones with bigger offset and bigger heads. I guess X20s X16s and X18s fall into that category. They're very good clubs and are easy to hit. Mishits still go pretty good distances. Get a higher lofted driver and some fairway woods. I like the Callaway X or X Hot fairway woods. I think they are one of the better woods on the market today. I would also look at the Cleveland HiBore. Get lessons also. Good luck.

What are good golf clubs and how much should I expect them to cost?
Q. Hi, my husband loves to golf, but needs new clubs. I don't know anything about golf, but I would like to surprise him for our anniversary with a new set. What are some good brands, and how much can I expect to spend?

A. Don't even consider choosing his clubs for him. Clubs are so individual and high end clubs do require proper fitting by a professional. Callaway, Ping and Taylor made are amongst the best but Mizuno, Hogan and Adams amongst other are good as well. Go to the nearest discount golf store in your area and get a $1,500. gift certificate. You could get away with less or pay even more it is all about your budget. If you want a complete set of top end clubs, expect to pay $1,000 for a good set of Irons, $up to 1,000 for a good set of 3 woods (metals), $200 each for any Hybrids, $200 for a putter and $500 for a set of wedges. A matching manufactures bag would run around $250. You decide how much he will decide what. That will work.
