Item Description
A great game for the garden for all golf fans. This Victorian Golf Set comes fully boxed up with original putters. As far as I can see (and I play golf!), there are two golf balls that look particularly old and not entirely circular. So a real one off and totally original!
Clock golf, also known as “clock putting,” is a Victorian garden game that involves a circular arrangement of twelve cast iron numbered markers, resembling the numbers on a clock face. A hole or target is placed at the center of this circle. The game is played as follows:
Setup: The markers are placed in a circle, each representing an hour on a clock, with the hole in the center.
Gameplay: Players take turns putting from each of the twelve positions, starting at “1 o’clock” and moving sequentially around the circle.
The objective is to get the ball into the hole with the fewest strokes possible from each positionAfter completing a full round, the player with the fewest total strokes wins.
Clock golf was popular in Victorian gardens as it required minimal space and could be enjoyed by people of all ages, making it a favoured pastime for leisurely afternoons. Personally, this game would be perfect for those of us who don’t have a perfect lawn and instead use their chipping wedge around different parts of the garden!
