Scared Head G. Fraser Driver.
An elegant, persimmon wood scared head (or "scare joint") driver golf club by G. Fraser. This driver is with a lead weight to the rear and the traditional horn slip along the leading edge of the sole, the polished light-stained head is stamped 'G. Fraser'. The hickory shaft with original sheep skin grip. This is a nice example of a scared head golf club from the early 20th century in good condition.
The measurements shown are the length of the whole club, the width of the face and depth of the head.
Approximate head size:-

The early golf clubs such as these were made with an ash or hickory shaft glued to the head by means of a splice or scare joint. This traditional method involved overlapping the shaft and head diagonally, securing them with glue, and reinforcing the joint with tightly wound, pitched thread whipping.
All beautifully hand made by craftsmen of the time.
