An iron and a wood I myself am carrying (6)

I believe the answer is:

mashie

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

'an iron' is the definition.
(mashie is a kind of iron)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for mashie that I've seen before include "Old-fashioned golf club" , "He aims (anag) - golfer's five iron, formerly" , "Old golf club" , "Golf club for lofting" , "One of 9 [CLUBS]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
