Description

This is an early splice neck child's driver by Wm. Park, Musselburgh.         This club is a short 34" long to the heel.  The head is 3" long along the face to the toe.  It is only 2 3/8" wide at the widest part of the crown.  The mark on the crown is bold Wm PARK.  The lead weight is snug to the head and is surely original.  The horn shows definite signs of play, especially along the leading edge.  The face does not show any dings.  The shaft has a bold Wm PARK just below the grip, exactly where Park put his name on all marked shafts.  The grip is old but may not be original.  The grip whipping looks like replacement.  The neck whipping is old and is a bit loose at each end.  The small head (see photo with the ball) and the shaft with the name stamp located where it should be are indicative of a club made for a young golfer.  This is a nice piece of early Scottish golf history from one of the most respected names in golf.    The ball in the photo is NOT included.  I ship ONLY within the USA.
