Sunday Club Golf Walking Stick
About the Item
Antique Sunday Club, Golf Club Walking Stick.
A desirable walking cane with the handle in the shape of a golf club head. The gentleman's walking stick has a persimmon scared head handle with horn sole insert and a lead weight to the rear. The crown of the club head stamped with the 'plume of feathers' cleek mark. It is with hickory shaft with replaced whipping and a brass ferrule at the end.
The ban on golfing on the Sabbath, Sunday, had the effect of the club makers producing walking sticks for canny golfers. They fashioned the canes with a golf club head as a handle and they became known as 'Sunday Clubs' or 'Sabbath sticks'. It is said that on the Sabbath a Sunday Club owner, when nobody was looking, could still enjoy a crafty putt or swing.
