George Nicoll Hickory Golf 4 Club Iron Set (Polished Finish)
George Nicoll founded his clubmaking business in 1881 in Leven, Fife, Scotland, with a simple philosophy: golf should be enjoyable and accessible to as many people as possible. Every club he produced carried his distinctive Hand cleekmark, known as "The Helping Hand of Golf," reflecting his belief that well-designed clubs should help golfers play better. Inspired by the George Nicoll tradition, this four-club hickory iron set captures the playing characteristics that made Nicoll clubs so highly regarded during the hickory era. Generous sole bounce, a flange design, and a dot-face pattern help golfers make clean, confident contact from a wide variety of lies.
Every set is individually made to order. Please see below for standard specifications, custom options, and ordering information.
This set features a polished finish on the clubheads, highlighting the traditional lines and craftsmanship of the original design.
