This c1870 short spoon is an outstanding club made by the revered clubmaker from Leven, Scotland, Alex Patrick.  

Club is all original. The "A. Patrick" stamped name is clean and clear. Nice original vertical face scoring. 39” original shaft and sheepskin grip. Three owner's hashmarks on the shaft below the grip. The head measures 5 ¾” in length, 2” in width, 1 1/16” in face depth and has a great shape.

Alex Patrick grew up in Leven, Scotland where he was not only a talented amateur golfer, but also an apprentice in his family's clubmaking business. Upon his father's death in 1866, Alex took over the business and built a reputation as a fine club and ballmaker.
