Add to album

This wooden golf club was made by Tom Morris in the late 19th century. The style of the club is known as a short 'spoon'.

One of a group of 17 golf-clubs - a short spoon made by Tom Morris

Golf was almost exclusively a sport for the Scots until the second half of the 19th century, and it was played by a limited number of people. It expanded quickly, particularly after 1880 and was taken up by the English and by women.
