Description: St. Andrews Wright & Ditson Makers Club #KA03 Wright and Ditson Boston Wright and DitsonWright and Ditson, A Boston company, was one of the US mass-producers of clubs towards the end of the hickory era and, on that basis, would not warrant a mention here were it not for the connection of the company with two of the pivotal figures in US golf. Firstly, the founder of the company, George Wright, who was a baseball player with the Washington Nationals, persuaded Albert Goodwill Spalding to abandon office life for professional sport and the rest, as they say, is history. He also played a part in bringing Harry Vardon over for the exhibition tour of 1900 but, from a Scottish perspective, it was the company's successful attempt to bring A H Findlay in, in 1899, to design a range of clubs which is of most interest. Working for a railroad company, Findlay designed a host of courses in America and may even have laid out a six holer in Nebraska in 1885, pre-dating the St Andrew's Club in New York generally accepted as being the pioneer in the 19th century re-introduction of golf in the country. The connection with Spalding goes further as, around the mid 1890s, Spalding bought a substantial shareholding in Wright and Ditson and many of the two companies clubs were produced in the same factory.
