New to golf and playing with a set of bastard clubs that I got hand me down. What is a spoon? When should I be hitting this club?

Try it with soup.
There used to be a spoon in the early days. It was a wood with a conclave face. The name still gets used to describe a fairway wood sometimes.

Back in the day…. (Early 90s?) golf clubs were just moving from wood to metals. Sometimes woods were metal and metals were woods. Very confusing era. Anyhoo… some dude comes up with the term ‘spoon’ . Not quite 3 wood… not quite hybrid…. Deep faced 3 wood with a belly.
Supposedly, for carving long shots out of the rough.
A very outdated and obsolete 3 wood, by all practical definitions.
A spoon in classic golf language was around a 5 wood.
Pretty sure a spoon is just an old fashioned Wood
If you play Nintendo Switch golf they have a spoon option
Looks like a driver.
No clue but that Spoons too big…
I think they still use the term spoon in Japan. I have a friend that plays weird hipster clubs and he has a 3w called an EggSpoon.
It’s for when it’s really foggy outside when you’re golfing. Haven’t you heard the phrase “fog so thick it’s like pea soup”? Hence the need for a spoon
That’s a knife
It’s a spoon
Now you just need the fork and knife to round out your bag.
Also could be considered a strong 3 wood/metal
Thats a fairway wood, i got a set of old fashioned metal woods from a friend. They are pretty difficult to hit, but it gives you jaw dropping distance once u hit it right.
Also, Golfsmith was a company where you could buy components from a catalog and build your own equipment, which you couldn’t do anywhere else, and OEMs back then didn’t offer options in terms of shafts and grips like they do now.
3w
Strong 3 wood, aka a 2 wood!
Very old 😂
I have this club in 5w. It’s a bitch to pure but so nice when I do. The head is so small it would be cool to see someone decent drive it
