Strands #409
“Fore!”

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today. "Fore!" can only mean golf, surely?
Even though I'm not a golfer, I knew where to start, and found WEDGE in the top-right immediately. This was followed by PUTTER in the opposite corner.
Now it was proven to be about the clubs, I went looking for the spangram. GOLFCLUBS was indeed there, and in a nice touch it was in the shape of a club too.
Now it was just a case of recalling other club types. IRON was in the gap between the spangram and WEDGE, while WOOD and DRIVER were above PUTTER along the left-hand side.
That left just CHIPPER and UTILITY in the bottom-right corner to complete the puzzle.
