Picking out a detail from the postcard featured in yesterday's post, the building in the foreground left here is the home and workshop belonging to the golf club maker David Patrick. You can just make out the sign which reads 'D.M. Patrick' above the workshop entrance (to the right of the main house). The business was certainly conveniently placed between the station and the clubhouse. I've written a post about David Murdoch Patrick before - see link below:

Since that post I have come across some images of clubs made at the workshop, stamped D. M. Patrick. I'm still searching for an actual club though. I wonder how many clubs were manufactured in the village over the years, how many remain today, and where in the world they have ended up.
