Zoom Exit

Ref:24257
A rare hickory shafted blade putter with an exceptionally thin shaped hosel that is also longer than normal. The unusual shape of the hosel with pointed front edge carries on into the full length of the shaft which has a black polished leather grip and is stamped ‘Jack White’, special. The head with a weighted back has a smooth face and is marked The “SUNNINGDALE” with a Jack White autograph and Jack’s ‘Sun’ cleek mark, which was in use from 1910 until 1930. On the bottom of the putter is the REG. No. 699656.

Jack White (1873 – 1949) was an excellent player and won the open Championship in 1904 at Sandwich. Like so many great professionals he learned golf whilst caddying. It is not widely known that he was related to the famous North Berwick golfers Ben Sayers and Davie Grant. The ‘sun’ cleek mark is attributed to Jacks position as professional to the Sunningdale Golf club outside London (1901 – 1926), where he made many clubs in his shop where he kept a sizeable staff. White was the maker of the woods used by Bobby Jones in winning the Grand Slam in 1930, and they were also sold on a wholesale basis by the British Golf Company. In the mid 1930’s White retired from Sunningdale and returned to his hometown in Scotland, Gullane, where he opened a new factory. His business was the only industry located in this small village which has many fine golf courses, including Gullane and Muirfield.
