Merion Golf Club Replica

Putting Green Wicker Basket Standard

     With Merion Golf Club re-introducing itself to the world last year at the U.S. Open, golf fans (and collectors) cannot stop talking about Merion's famed wicker basket standards, which it uses in place of pin flags. Since course-used wicker baskets from Merion are virtually impossible to obtain, one local golfer took it upon himself to create a handmade replica. This outstanding replica has the look, feel and craftsmanship of Merion's own wicker basket standards - without costing many thousands of dollars to obtain one. For the golfer who has everything, this wicker standard is hand made in the USA, crafted from natural round reed wicker, and has an all-metal pole.

    This beautiful orange wicker basket standard is the popular putting green size - nearly identical to the wickers found of Merion's own putting green. It measures 35", and includes a putting cup base and embroidered canvas cover.

    A great alternative to a near impossible real one costing a couple thousand dollars.
