Devised and sold directly by Fred Saunders, a well respected London clubmaker and golf professional, the Saunders Straight Line putter provides a dramatic extension on the back of an aluminum head. A 1920 Golf Illustrated ad for this putter reads: "Reduce your Handicap! This is now comparatively easy if you play with a "Saunders Straight Line Patent aluminum putter (Registered Design 672,159) which gives you a true line to the hole. . . . Write for terms : Fred Sauncers, Highgate Golf Club, London, N."
This club is in outstanding condition. There is minimal bag wear on the soft aluminum head, all writing is clear. The cloth-backed india rubber wound grip is original. The original shaft is stamped "Fred Saunders, Highgate." An excellent piece.
