Willie Park Jr established himself as one of the most prominent members of the golf world during his life, if for no other reason than being extremely well-rounded within that world. He won the 1887 and 1889 British Open. He designed upwards of 170 courses. He wrote golf books. And he excelled as a clubmaker. 

This circa early 1890s transitional brassie features its original 40" shaft, coated sheepskin grip, and full brass soleplate. The "Wm Park" stamped head remains in outstanding condition, it's lovely golden finish still strong and attractive. A sweet club made by a two-time British Open Champion!
