![]() Clubmakers Robert Simpson Carnoustie ![]() William Honeyman writing of Bob and Archie in Bauchope's Golfing Annual of 1888-9, comments that they 'have their place of business inside the Dalhousie Club House ground, and are much esteemed for their obliging disposition, steadiness, and excellent workmanship'. He died in 1923. Renowned for his bulger clubs, a slightly shortened and widened driver, designed so that a ball hit not quite on the sweetspot could still fly straight. He was also a maker of compressed woods. In irons he was known for the "ball face" sweetspot scoring on his irons. Perhaps his most exotic creation was clubheads made in the 1890s from papier-mache. I've never seen one of these but, then again, it has been known to rain in Carnoustie.
