An iron or where you might use it (8)

I believe the answer is:

golfclub

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'an iron' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'where you might use it' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for golfclub that I've seen is " iron?".)
