Bennett Lang Hatch Face Spoon
Bennett Lang (1849-1913) was a club craftsman who had trained and learned his trade under Robert Forgan in St. Andrews. Forgan said of him that he was one of the best club makers to come out of the Forgan workshop. He subsequently worked in the Tom Morris, McEwan and the Anderson workshops as he found it difficult to be a self-employed club maker. Lang's standing with his peers soared when it became known that he had made James Anderson a set of wooden clubs that he played with when winning his third Open Championship in 1879. Lang finally settled in Perth, as his own master. He was known to be a specialist in hand-made wooden clubs which were made to measure to suit each individual client. He produced fine clubs of excellent quality all stamped "B. Lang" such as this one with a hatched face.
