This Sunday stick has a hand-carved handle decorated with intricate marquetry detailing which extends down the shaft, 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.'
Under the handle is a riveted aperture for the addition of a tassel or wrist strap.
Strong pine shaft with a metal ferrule.
An attractive stick, perfect for use or a collector.
