John Letters  www.johnletters.com

The John Letters story began in 1918 with a small works on the north bank of the River Clyde in Glasgow. Originally Letters Logan & Company, by 1923 the Company had become known as John Letters, the name that exists to this day.

Up to the middle of the nineteenth century, club making was largely an ancillary activity to the more lucrative and complicated activity of ball making. However the advent of the gutty ball gave more scope for club design and with coal and steel in plentiful supply around the coastal regions of Scotland, professionals of the day turned their hand to head design and manufacture. By beating raw steel into shape by hand through the use of rudimentary moulds and presses, small premises around the great links courses of Fife, Ayrshire, the Lothians and Angus began to dominate the world of club production.

Being a businessman, rather than a golf professional, John Letters was unusual in the golf trade and choosing to locate his factory in the industrial heartland of central Scotland made it doubly so. Therefore from the beginning, there was something very different about the John Letters business. This may be one of the reasons why the company grew from strength to strength as the century progressed, while other great club makers like Forgan, Tom Morris and Nicoll, began to fall by the wayside.

John Letters made steady progress through the ‘20s and ‘30s and its proprietor proved himself to be a shrewd businessman, always ready to try new ideas and techniques. The Company was one of the first to experiment with steel shafts while the rest of the British Industry lost ground to the USA by insisting on remaining faithful to hickory. The readiness to innovate was to prove John Letters’ greatest strength. By1939, the John Letters company had become established as a club maker of note, but real breakthroughs came in the post war era.
