The McEwan family was one of the top clubmakers dating back to as early as the 1770s, a time when feathery balls were still being played. The McEwan's were made up of six club makers with this club representing the fashion of craftmanship only seen with a McEwan. An excellent McEwan crafted club such as this example is expected to draw major interest from bidders looking to enhance their hickory club collection.
