From the learndb: "Not a terrible weapon forged in the fires of hell -- just a terrible weapon."
There is no reason you should ever fight with a club. They are strictly inferior to whips, which are almost as commonplace.
Even freshly started spellcaster characters should avoid using clubs, whenever possible. A club is only marginally more powerful than unskilled Unarmed Combat; you might as well wait until you get a dagger or whip off of a kobold or something.
