NZ's first golf clubs to go under hammer

| New Zealand News | Wednesday May 2 2012 10:20

What are thought to be the first ever golf clubs made in New Zealand will go under the hammer at Sotheby's in London in a fortnight.

Auctioneer Graham Budd says the five wooden clubs were discovered in a small farming village in Otago.

He says they were made in the days of Scottish settlers beginning a new life in the province.

Mr Budd says the clubs are probably the earliest known examples of traditional handcrafted club making from New Zealand.

They're expected to fetch up to £600.
