Edinburgh, Oct.6 : A Scottish-made golf club has been auctioned off for a record price of 89,577 pounds.

According to a report in the Scotsman, the18th century long-nosed putter, attributed to Leith clubmaker and former caddie, Andrew Dickson, was sold by Sotheby's in New York.

A collection of 11 antique St Andrews-made golf clubs also earned more than 60,000 pounds, the report said.

They were designed by two of golf's most illustrious names - "Old" Tom Morris Sr and Hugh Philp.

The sale of the Scottish clubs was part of a larger lot - the Jeffrey B Ellis Antique Golf Club Collection - which fetched more than a million pounds in total when it went under the hammer.

It was the largest collection of golf memorabilia to come up for auction in recent times. (ANI)
