Indistinctly stamped c1875 dark stained beechwood putter head measures 5 ¼" x 2" x 1" - 36" shaft length - fitted with a full length original hide grip complete with under listing. Part of The MacKenzie Ross Collection. Alexander MacKenzie Ross was perhaps the most exceptional golfer to emerge from the Society during its Bruntsfield, Musselburgh, and early Barnton days. A member for thirty-eight years until his death in April 1915, his achievements remain unmatched. He claimed the Society's Gold Medal thirteen times - most recently in 1908 at the age of 58 - and won the Autumn Gold Medal an extraordinary eighteen times. At 57, he delivered one of his finest performances by setting a new Barnton course record with a score of 75. He was Chairman of the Forth Rubber Company. His legacy continued through his son, Philip MacKenzie Ross, a prominent figure in Scottish golf. The owner of Edinburgh's Café Royal Hotel and a member of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society, Philip was a frequent medallist at prestigious courses such as Gullane, Luffness, and North Berwick. He later became a founding member of the International Society of Golf Architects and established his own practice in the 1930s. As a golf course architect, Philip was held in equal regard to legendary contemporaries such as Herbert Fowler, Harry Colt, and Tom Simpson.
