Antique Scared-Head Wood Brassie Golf Club with Hickory Shaft
This antique golf club is a brassie, a wood-headed club from the late 19th century characterized by its brass sole plate. The club features a scared-head or spliced-neck construction, where the head and the straight-grained hickory shaft are joined along a long, angled taper and secured with black twine whipping. The wooden head is fitted with a lead back-weight and a brass sole plate secured by six flat-head screws. A long, tapered wrap grip made of dark leather is present at the top of the shaft. An impressed maker mark is visible on the crown of the head, showing the characters PARK preceded by faint, indistinguishable initials. This marking suggests the club may be the work of renowned maker Willie Park.
