Alex Patrick Long Nose Short Spoon, Golf Club.
A very good shaped long nose, short spoon, golf club by Alex Patrick, Leven. The beautiful beechwood head with excellent colour and good makers stamp 'A. Patrick', the head with lead weight to the rear and the traditional horn slip along the leading edge of the sole with three wooden pegs holding it in place, the face with insert (wood or possibly leather). It has the original hickory shaft with sheepskin grip with scare head joint with good whipping. This is a very nice example of a long nose golf club in excellent condition.
Approximate head size:-
a = 10cm
b = 3cm
c = 4.4cm
The early clubs are made with long slender shallow-faced heads with an ash or hickory shaft glued to the head by means of a splice or scare joint. This joint is then further strengthened by whipping with a pitched thread. All beautifully hand made by craftsmen of the time.
Dimensions:
1850-1899
C. 1870's
Beech-wood and Hickory
Scotland
In good restored condition. With leather face insert and good patina.
