a skirt extending between the sole and the crown;
a weight mount including a support surface and an undercut, wherein the weight mount is disposed on at least one of the sole, the crown and the skirt;
a weight member that includes an angled abutment surface, wherein the angled abutment surface abuts a portion of the undercut, wherein at least a portion of the weight member is received in the undercut; and
a fastener that abuts a portion of the weight member that is spaced from the angled abutment surface, wherein the abutment of the fastener and the weight member forces the weight member laterally toward the undercut such that the abutment surface is in forced abutment with a portion of the undercut and such that the weight member is in forced abutment with the support surface by sliding interaction between the abutment surface and the undercut.
