Niblick Sunday Club, Brass Golf Walking Stick.
An original Edwardian Niblick golf club walking stick with wooden shaft, brass ferrule and brass club head. The gentleman's walking stick has a golf club head handle in the form of a Niblick iron. The head with hyphen or dash face markings. A good quality walking stick, maker unknown.
The ban on golfing on the Sabbath, Sunday, had the effect of the club makers producing walking sticks for canny golfers. They fashioned the canes with a golf club head as a handle and they became known as 'Sunday Clubs' or 'Sabbath sticks'. It is said that on the Sabbath a Sunday Club owner, when nobody was looking, could still enjoy a crafty putt or swing.
