Since you took the photo you may post it to the web. There are no apparent copyright implications in this scenario. I don't know the US position regarding trademark references but I gather you should probably use the (TM) symbol where you refer to a given club. It might be wise to express somewhere on your site that you are not affiliated with any of the manufacturers. Otherwise, it seems to me, you don't have a problem and don't need to ask permission. But ask a US lawyer.
