Later the iron clubs were developed to help lofting the golf ball. Irons took a big turn when grooves were applied. This helped with ball control, and E. Burn was credited with this unique invention. Arthur Knight introduced steel-shafted clubs in 1910. Most players still preferred hickory shafts for more than 20 years after the introduction of steel. Steel shafts were legalized in 1924, by the U.S. Golf Association. Billy Burke was the first golfer to win a major championship using steel-shafted clubs. This happened at the U.S. Open in 1931
