Antique Scared Head Long Nose Golf Club.
A long nose lofted club in great condition, maker unknown. The golf club has a blond beech-wood head with lead weight to the rear, traditional horn slip along the leading edge of the sole, head stamped 'The Eclipse' and has the original hickory shaft with a sheep skin leather grip. This is a very nice example of a scared head golf club from the 1890's, it has at some stage had the face planed to create more loft, looks great seems to work well.

Approximate head size:-
a = 6.5cm
b = 3.5cm
c = 3.8cm

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.
