All the clubs have polished leather grips, dot punched face markings and are forged in rustless iron.

This is a great set of playable original hickory shafted golf clubs. If you are wishing to play some hickory golf the best balls to play with are low compression balls that will give at impact, such as ladies balls or soft feel balls.
Royal Worlington & Newmarket Golf Club was founded in 1893 and is a nine hole course. It is also the home course to the 'Light Blues' the Cambridge University golf team. The key feature of the course is that it has sandy soil that allows for excellent conditioning, therefore it drains well and remains on normal green and tees throughout the winter.
