Description:
128 pp. Profusely illustrated from photographs taken from old sources, many are in color (newer sources). 9½x7½, dark navy blue cloth, spine lettered in jacket. First Edition.
In the days before mass-production the manufacture of golf clubs was carried out by a few Scottish craftsmen. Some of these were so skilled that the clubs they made were treasured and preserved, to survive to this day. The wooden drivers and putters of Philip, Forgan, McEwan, Jackson and others fetch high prices at auctions. A collection of Jackson clubs from the 1840's found in a Scottish attic was sold for $90,000.00.
Condition:
Fine in fine jacket. From the library of Charlie Yaws, first Adminstrator and a Director at the U.S. Golf Collector's Society.
