Edinburgh: Robert Lekpreuik, 1566 Containing the earliest mention of golf, banning its play. This 1566 printing, one of three issues of the acts in that year, includes the acts of James I to James V and Mary Queen of Scots. The earliest mention of golf is in the acts of 1457 by James II (verso of fol. xl) which order that: ‘futball and golf be utterly cryit downe, and not to be usit’. Instead it is ordered that ‘schuting be usit ilk Sonday’. It was clearly felt that free time on a Sunday should be spent on shooting or archery because it fulfilled a military need. Similar laws were included in the acts of 1471 and 1491. 1566 was the first actual printing of these Scottish parliamentary acts. STC 21876.

(Advertising Penfold Man) Penfold Man - Papier-mache advertisement statue of a smiling golfer in knickers and cap. Large papier-mache statue. A man in full 1920s golfing attire: large “Hogan” style cap, blazer, collared shirt and vest, nickers, socks and golfing shoes. He stands with his hands in his pockets, smiling. Meticulously hand-painted in brown, gray, white, green, and peach. 20½” tall. No date c.1920s The base where the golfer stands reads “He played a Penfold.” This papier-mache statue was used as an advertising piece to sell Penfold golf balls. See 393 of Churck Furjanic’s Antique Golf Collectibles. Only the second time PBA Galleries has offered the Penfold (or Bromford) Man, and still no cigarette hangs from his lips (as it did originally). This example is immaculate in its painted decoration: the golfer wears a grey suite, pin-striped in brown, his vest is two shades of brown, and the very little chipping to the paint. Has been immaculately preserved. A very unusual statue made of highly perishable material, this example is near fine with only tiny flakes of paint chipped away. (2000/3000) Lot 5 6.
