1897-98 Invoice From Tom Hogg Of Richmond Golf Club.
Here we have an invoice from 1898 for items purchased from Tom Hogg of Richmond Golf Club throughout early 1897. Not only was Tom Hogg a Golf Club and Ball Manufacturer as per the invoice heading, he was also the greenskeeper at Richmond golf Club and is credited with laying out several golf courses including Ashford Manor golf Club and Acton Golf Club.
The invoice itself has several interesting entries e.g., Eureka and Silvertown golf balls, drivers with leather faces, brassies and mashies and horn apparently used for the soles of drivers.
There is a great graphic on the top center of the invoice showing a golfer with caddie in the background.
This is one of the earliest invoices and billheads you will find. It makes a great conversation piece and would look great framed and displayed in your golf room.
