Late 1800's Bennett Lang Long Nose Putter
Attentive apprentice to Robert Forgan at the St Andrews shop, master craftsman Bennett Lang gained the respect from his cohorts in the industry. At the top of that list was Forgan himself, citing Lang as one of the finest clubmakers to emerge from Forgan's tutelage. Lang would later work in other top, established clubmaking shops including Tom Morris, McEwan and Anderson, even producing Jamie Anderson's 1879 Open winning clubs.
Because he was not on his own long, very few of these 'B. Lang' stamped clubs are in existence. Here is one of those few, with a deep and legible crown stamp. Tight remains the lead weight head insert and ram's horn sole affixed by wooden pegs. A replacement grip has been added carrying heightened eye appeal. Add that elusive Lang long nose putter to your pre-1900, 1800's fourth quarter club collection with the winning bid on this lot. 38"
