A restaurant in the midst of being renovated was put on hold due to a unique historical discovery of a set of golf clubs made by the world’s oldest golf manufacturer.

Bosses at Forgan’s, which is set to open in St Andrew’s later this month, now hope the find could prove to be an exciting one to golfing historians and they are already planning to have the clubs exhibited in the venue.

Forgan’s is being created in a warehouse building on the site of a former ‘cleek’ factory – the name originally given to number one irons – which sits behind the popular Mitchell’s Deli on Market Street.

The cleeks were the signature product made by Forgan which is reputed to be the oldest golf club factory in the world, dating back to 1860’s.
