Pre-1904 Gutty Golf Starter Set

If you’re looking for an affordable and authentic way to play gutty golf, look no further than this four-club set of irons made in the late 1890s and early 1900s and fully refurbished for gutty golf play.

This short set features a mashie made by Willie Park Jr. of Musselburgh, a putter made by Robert Forgan of St. Andrews, and two nondescript clubs that feature common characteristics of turn-of-the-century gutty golf clubs.

The clubs in this set would have been the type played by golfers during the pivotal time period between 1898 and 1905 when the rubber-cored Haskell ball was gradually overtaking the solid gutta percha ball and composite “gutty” to become the ball of choice among players.

For an authentic turn-of-the-century playing experience, I recommend playing these gutty clubs with the McIntyre Brown ball.

Included in this short set:

• Cleek (unknown maker) : 22 degrees of loft, D4 swing weight, 39-1/2” playing length)

• Willie Park Jr. Mashie: 32*, D0, 38-1/4”

• Lofter (unknown maker): 41*, C8, 38”

• Robert Forgan putter: 9*, C0, 33-1/4”

Refurbishment includes surface rust removal, resetting of the head with epoxy, repinning with 1/8"-inch brass rod, wood shaft reconditioning, a new leather grip (rough side out), and fresh whipping thread where necessary.
