Very strange post, in my view. Carrying a golf club while walking is a sensible idea. First, you just come across a golf ball that needs hitting. Secondly, it is a decent deterrent for agressive dogs or other critters that may not be friendly.
On another thread in the past, one poster even suggested carrying a pistol when walking for protection from dogs or coyotes or whatever.
I still feel very safe when walking at 4 am but that golf club idea does make sense!
