Vintage Spalding F-7 Kro-Flite Waterfall Iron A. Milne Special - Deep Groove
A Milne was the pro who sold this stamped 'Special' waterfall iron. The mashie niblick has a deep grooved waterfall face. As stamped, this club is Pat. Applied For. Spalding was the manufacturing company of this F-7 Kro-Flite. The R & A outlawed the Waterfall clubs in the early 1900's. The single waterfall scoring was a refined version of William Reach's double waterfall idea. Having the ribs a more pronounced arc made the controlling of a short shot easier. After notorious golfer's such as Francis Ouimet and Howard Whitney (President of the USGA) began stating their displeasure over the "Jerko" club, it was eventually disbarred from play in the following months.The club is all original and in good condition. It measures 36 1/2" from the top of the grip to the heel of the club.
