John S.Fernie Old Fold Manor Golf Club in script.Dot punched face Markings. Research tells us that the When Old Fold opened, life expectancy in England was 50. Women had no vote, there were 5 dollars to the pound, cigarettes were one old penny for 20, a pint was 1p, and the biggest single class of employment was domestic service – there were over 2 million butlers, footmen and maids, etc. That was 1910.
Today, it has members in their 70s playing twice a week, for example. And they love it because the course is so appealing and challenging. It was designed by the great Harry Colt. Since then it’s hosted national championships, and entertained royalty, entertainers and some of the world’s greatest golfers, including Sir Nick Faldo.
The club was founded by Viscount Enfield on historic land — the Battle of Barnet (a decisive conflict in the Wars of The Roses) is thought to have been fought on part of it in 1471. In 1558 Queen Elizabeth 1 stayed in the original manor house here. And there is still the moat, and part of a 1,000-year-old hedge. This Club is in good playable condition with the Original Grip and Wax coated thread use for the whipping then finished with Shellac to protect it from any bag damage that may occur. Please note: All our Clubs have been fully restored by a professional restorer of Hickory Golf Clubs; it/they may arrive with a Tarnish Guard to protect it from the damp air which will allow it to rust, and should be replaced after cleaning.
