W.J.Rush 
Cromer 
Special 

W.J. Rush was a renowned club professional at the Royal Cromer Golf Club in Norfolk, serving from 1906 through the late 1930s. He is highly regarded in vintage golf circles for his custom hickory clubs, which are sought after by collectors

'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.'

Strong treen shaft with a brass ferrule. 

An attractive stick, perfect for use or a collector.
