* ''[[Dead Rising]]'': one of the survivors you can rescue in the second game is a pro golfer who's using her favorite club to keep zombies at bay.

While you can use a club in the game, all you can do is drive golf balls into zombies' faces until you run out. It apparently never occurs to your character to use it as a melee weapon.

** ''[[Bio Shock|Bioshock 2]]'': While not actually a usable weapon, while in the "Journey to the Surface" ride in Ryan Amusements, you come across a animatronic Andrew Ryan.
