This Sunday stick has a hand-carved wood handle, perfect for use as a putter.
'Sunday sticks were manufactured because of the ban on golfing on the Sabbath, Sunday. They fashioned the canes with a golf club head as a handle and they became known as 'Sunday Clubs' or 'Sabbath sticks'. It is said that on the Sabbath a Sunday Club owner, when nobody was looking, could still enjoy a crafty putt or swing.'
The stick has a very strong briar shaft, beautifully carved into a twisted shape from about halfway down.
The upper part of the shaft is furnished with three metal Alpine badges with the following locations:
'Kleine Scheidegg
St Andreasberg
Hahnenklee Oberharz'
'Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of a Swiss skiing and hiking region at 2061 m above sea level. It lies above Grindelwald and Wengen, at the foot of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains.
The town of Sankt Andreasberg in Germany, at an elevation of 600 to 900 metres, is the highest mining town in the Harz Mountains, and exudes a very special charm with its colourful wooden houses, yellow bell tower and steep mountain roads.
