Very Rare Truly Antique Hickory Wood-Shafted D.J. Ross Niblick Iron Golf Club: Personal Stock from Alexander Ross - 1907 U.S. Open Champion.
Mashie means 3 Iron. Niblick means Wedge! Mashie-Niblick is about a 6 Iron! You need to know these terms if you are a golfer......:)
Own a Golf History with this Antique Wedge! It was made for Alex Ross, the 1907 U.S. Open Champion! His name was burnished on to the Hickory Shaft. Just think, he probably used this Niblick from his personal collection to win many of the tournaments of his era! They used the best materials and workmanship to make sure that Alex Ross was pleased with his golf weapon. As any golfer knows, Wedge (Niblick) is critical part of having a great short game.
Use it to decorate your club house or your man-cave! Many people FRAME these clubs for posterity!
Unique feel to the club: If feels softer than Graphite shafted club! Natural Wooded Golf Indeed! You have to try hitting a golf ball with this wood-shaft iron from bygone era! It feels SWEET! I prefer to use this Niblick as opposed to my Ping or other Graphite Wedges.
Alexander Ross, generally known as Alec Ross and sometimes as Alex, was a Scottish professional golfer. He was a native of Dornoch[1] and learned his golf in his home country, but like many British professional golfers of his era he spent many years working as a club professional in the United States. While employed by the Brae Burn Country Club, near Boston, he won the 1907 U.S. Open at the St. Martin's course at Philadelphia Cricket Club. He competed in the U.S. Open seventeen times in total, and finished in the top-10 five times. His other tournament wins include the North and South Open six times (1902, 1904, 1907, 1908, 1910, 1915), the Massachusetts Open six times (1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1912) and the Swiss Open three times (1923, 1925, 1926).
