Found this guy awhile back but never got around to posting it.i found it at a old tavern that has a built on wing that served as a school,A U.S. post office and when the civil war came along it became a C.S. post office.It was also a polling place for the big wigs back in the day. I was reading that golf became popular in the U.S. somewhere between the 1880's and 90's and I think it might be from that period?Not sure if it is a 9 iron or what?,.Seems like it has a story to tell,maybe someone got mad and slammed it on the ground and broke it?Anyway I thought some of you golf enthusiast might appreciate it. Happy Eskimoen everyone!stay warm!joe

That Hosel probably had a Bamboo shaft. I had a set with Bamboo shafts when I was a kid. Didn't play though, got them from neighbor.

"Hi Honey! I'm home!"

That's one not often posted lol.
" Golf is a long, beautiful walk spoiled by a little white ball." I forget where I read that or who said it, but it has stuck with me over the years.

I bet that one would give you a mean "slice".

Doesn't look like there's very much loft on it. I believe that you found the head of an early 1900's a putter. But, I may be wrong.

After 6 to 8 hours of swinging my Excalibur in my wetsuit, I walk back to my bike to pack up and head home. I never show anyone on the beach any of my finds for the day. Along the way to the parking lot, I often get asked, "Find any gold today?"
My standard reply is, "I think I'll take up golf."
Congrats on your find.

Your find reminds me of this quote:
[h=1]In case of a thunderstorm, stand in the middle of the fairway and hold up a one iron.
Not even God can hit a one iron.

lol whadifind!That is a little ironic about the name.From what I have seen golf players are really serious about the game.i can just imagine some old timer missing their put and taking it out on the club.

sounds like you know something about it.I'm gonna say early 1900's now too.It does seems more likely also I guess.

A little electrolysis may shed some light on this. Cool find nonetheless A whole new meaning to digging "iron".

May be a murder weapon. Take it to the crime lab to see if blood is present. If the case
is solved write a book.
