Willie Park Jr established himself as one of the greats of the golf world during his lifetime, and in many ways.  He won the 1887 and 1889 British Open. He designed upwards of 170 courses. He wrote golf books. He excelled as a clubmaker.  Like his father before him, Willie Park Jr. was well known far and wide and he remains so today. 

This particular c1890s splice neck driver features its original 42" shaft and sheepskin grip.  The shaft and head are both stamped "Wm Park."  The finish on the head has been cleaned up and the club retains a nice natural appearance with strong Park stamp. A great club made by a two-time British Open Champion!
