This is an early long nose play club by Jamie Anderson, St Andrews. Jamie, the eldest son of David Anderson won the Open Championship three straight years, 1877-78-79. As a club maker he apprenticed with Robert Forgan before beginning his own club making business in the 1870s.
This play club appears to be from about 1875. The J ANDERSON mark on the crown is bold. It is 44" long to the heel of the club. The head is 6" long along the face to just below the splice. It is 1 3/4" wide at the widest part of the head with a face depth of 1 1/8". The face has some flaking near the toe (see photo). The lead weight is snug to the head. There is a very old repair near the end of the lead weight (see photo). The horn and pegs are in very good condition. The splice whipping is very old and may be original. The shaft is a near perfect fit at the splice and may be original. It has a very slight bow. The grip is a period type replacement. Grips of this era are often fragile with some parts missing. The top end of this grip is missing (see photo).
This is a classic piece of early Scottish golf history will make an impressive addition to your collection.
