The urban dictionary defines "clock you" as "the act of hitting a person with a closed fist."

I'm not convinced it means uniquely in the face.

thanks but I don't think so.

A man who has a golf clup hitting the other guy and swing a golf club.

It is not possible to say that:

I am dropping golf club and I am gonna punch you.

Why not?

Why would it be impossible for one guy to drop his club and begin to hit the other with his fists?

A fist is much more precise than a golf club.

But - hey - it's an idiomatic expression and I'm sure you'll know how to use it correctly when you need to.
