This club, as demonstrated by David Anderson, from Kingarrock, has a solid persimmon wood head in proportion to the 9’ 6’’ long ebonised hickory shaft, and the original grip. The head has a leading edge of ram’s horn.
The club, recently acquired by Persimmon Golf, was made by Joe Anderson in the 1920s. Joe’s daughter, Jessie Valentine, won the British Ladies’ Championship three times.
