John Wisden & Co
London
John Wisden & Co As Wisden's is the bible of cricket (first set up by John Wisden, Sussex batsman turned publisher of the Cricketers' Almanack and retailer in 1863) it is easy to overlook their role in golf. They claimed to be the first shop in London to sell golf clubs (in 1874) and by the early 1890s they were probably the top golf retailer in the city selling clubs from many noted makers, especially Robert Forgan.

By 1903, they had their own brand of golf ball (the Rocket) and, around 1905, they started to produce their own clubs. Those sold between 1906 and 1910 went under the brand name of Wisden's Royal and were marked with an escutcheon.
