Original Description:
Up for sale is a highly collectible and very rarely come up for sale - Willie Dunn Sr. Long Nose Driver or Play Club as they were called back in the day..  This clubmaker was very well known, not only for being one of the best clubmakers in his day but was especially known for the keen matches that he played against Old Tom Morris.  With his twin brother Jamie at his side, Old Tom, partnered by the infamous, Allan Robertson, his mentor and believed to be the best golfer in th...is period.  Their matches are legendary, even to this day!  Most of Willie Dunn's clubs were simply marked DUNN, but during his time at Royal Blackheath (1865 - 1875), many of the clubs he made were stamped Wm. DUNN, as is this club.  This club measures just 40 inches - a little short for clubs of this period, but likely made for a player of a shorter stature.  It is in excellent condition, with a very straight shaft.  The head measures 5 1/2 inches in length, 1 3/4 inches in width, and 1 inch deep. The shaft appears to be a replacement, as well as the grip.  The lead back weight is original and shows the signs of many battles on the links.  Please see pics for overall condition. I am selling a number of my most favorite clubs by some very well known players and makers of this period.  This would make a great addition to anyone's collection, or, if this is the only club of this period you would own, it is a quality piece made by one of golf history's most famous!  Please check out my other wood shaft listings!
