2012 Winter Golf Memorabilia and Collectibles Auction with 1934 Masters Badge

Lot #7:

Alex Patrick Long Nose Playclub

Alex Patrick Long Nose Playclub. The 2nd oldest family in the golf trade after the McEwans. Alex took over Dad's business in 1866 and this was made exactly in that period. The 45" feather ball type club features a dark stain which was also in favor by Tom Morris and Forgan during this time in St Andrews. The 3 bands of whipping DO NOT secure a shaft crack but rather stiffened the flex as swings became more upright during this period.
