This could be a double definition.

'irons' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.

'suit' is the second definition.
(I know that Clubs is a suit)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clubs that I've seen before include "For game, you may need five" , "playing cards" , "discos" , "woods, for example" , "Card suit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
