In ''Halo 3'', it has the icon of a [[Grunt]] on its head. Its reticule is circular and perforated like a golf ball. [[Bungie]] likely remodeled the Gravity Hammer design for the 7 wood for novelty purposes, as no other use for the 7 wood (or the other golf items, such as the [[Golf Ball]] and the Cup) has been found. The 7 wood was a new addition to the Forge scenery selection, with the arrival of the [[Mythic Map Pack]]. It only appears on Sandbox, a large open terrain map with three levels. Sandbox is considered a very Forge-intensive map. Due to the expansive forge abilities of Sandbox, this is likely the reason the 7 wood is only available on that map. The 7 wood is also found in Forge mode in ''Halo: Reach'' and also in [[Firefight]]. | In ''Halo 3'', it has the icon of a [[Grunt]] on its head.

For ''Halo 3'' specifically, it is in the [[Mythic Map Pack|Mythic Map]] [[Sandbox]]. It can be found under the "Scenery" section, as opposed to the "Weapons" section. It can be used as a melee weapon in a similar way to the Gravity Hammer. | |||
[[Bungie]] added two other golf objects to go with the 7 wood - a "cup" and a [[golf ball]], most likely as a novelty object for Forgers and custom gamers to mess around with while playing Halo 3 with friends. Players who use the 7 wood for combat would use Gravity Hammer tactics, as they have the same effects, but as a novelty item, it was likely that players using the 7 wood will only be messing around in Forge. | [[Bungie]] added two other golf objects to go with the 7 wood - a "cup" and a [[golf ball]], most likely as a novelty object for Forgers and custom gamers to mess around with while playing Halo 3 with friends.

*Many gamers believed that using the 7 wood to hit the golf ball into the cup would unlock the location of the [[Halo 3 skulls|Sandbox Skull]], but this was later denied by Bungie, who then confirmed that players would have to search for the skull, as with the other ''Halo 3'' skulls. | *Many gamers believed that using the 7 wood to hit the golf ball into the cup would unlock the location of the [[Halo 3 skulls|Sandbox Skull]], but this was later denied by Bungie, who then confirmed that players would have to search for the skull, as with the other ''Halo 3'' skulls. | ||
*The head of the 7 wood bears the seal of the PGGA, which pays homage to the modern-day PGA, or Professional Golf Association. Within the Halo Universe, PGGA likely stands for 'Professional Grunt Golf Association' or another derivative of similar appearance, due to the presence of an [[Unggoy]] head in the seal. | *The head of the 7 wood bears the seal of the PGGA, which pays homage to the modern-day PGA, or Professional Golf Association.

*When the player walks over the 7 wood, the message prompting them to pick it up does not show an icon of the weapon like any other weapon would. Rather, it displays the words "7 Wood" in its place.

Why this image was not used in the prompt is unknown. | *When the player walks over the 7 wood, the message prompting them to pick it up does not show an icon of the weapon like any other weapon would.
