Long-nose Old Tom Morris playclub
Maker:
Tom Morris
, St Andrews Date: 1870
A very fine "Old Tom" Morris longnose beech-head playclub with very clear "T Morris" stamp on crown. The head is 4.5" long, an inch and a quarter across at its widest point with a horn slip in perfect condition, secured by three hickory dowels. Lead backweight is in perfect condition. A sheepskin grip, heavily worn, probably original with woollen listing below, tops a straight hickory shaft in perfect condition perfectly illustrating the whippy shafts of the day suited to the swing which swept featherie balls into the air.
This is a great collectors' club or a beautiful gift for a golfer you don't mind spending a couple of bob on!
