Recent studies by researchers at the University of
California, Irvine have shown that titanium golf clubs, when striking a rock, can
create sparks hot enough to start a brush fire. In California, there have been
two recent golf course fires, and although they have been originally thought to
be caused by cigarettes or cigars, were concluded that both incidents involved
3-irons with titanium alloy heads striking the ground and creating sparks that
caused the fire. Thus, it was concluded that people should not hit from these
areas if they do not wish to burn down a golf course.
