Scared Head Tom Morris Driver, St Andrews.
An elegant, scared head (or "scare joint") driver golf club by Tom Morris, St Andrews. 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 Beech-wood head is stamped 'T. Morris'. The hickory shaft with sheep skin leather grip (the grip is fragile and has been repaired). This is a very nice example of a scared head golf club from the 1890's in great condition.
Approximate head size:-
a = 6cm
b = 3cm
c = 6cm
The early clubs are made with an ash or hickory shaft glued to the head by means of a splice or scare joint. This is an early method of joining the wooden head to the shaft by overlapping them diagonally and securing with glue which is then further strengthened by whipping with a pitched thread. All beautifully hand made by craftsmen of the time.
Dimensions:
1850-1899
Circa 1890's
Beech and Hickory
Scotland
W. Rönnebeck
