Maybe
Watch a Titanium driver, if there are small pebbles in the ground it strikes during the swing they throw a lot of sparks.
As far as a swing in the rough starting a fire --- possible.
Much more probable is a golfing smoker throwing his butt down to make a swing. Starting a fire and using the sparking club idea as an excuse.
Now I am not calling anyone anything with this but I have played a lot of golf and the ratio of smoking golfers to sparking club swings is about
298,738,641 / 1
