American Toby Jug Museum 

The Golfer character jug in a trial colorway modeled by Stanley J. Taylor and produced by Royal Doulton of Burslem, England, in 1990. The origins of the game of golf are typically associated with Scotland where golf has been played for over five hundred years and is the national game. The Oxford English Dictionary describes golf as the game "in which small hard balls are struck with clubs having wooden or metal heads into a series of holes on smooth greens at varying distances apart and separated by fairways, rough ground, hazards, etc., the object to hole the ball in the fewest possible strokes." The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Scotland, founded in 1754, is the international shrine of golf, and the Club's base rules are the worldwide standard for the game. Golf has spread throughout the world and has become one of the most popular pastimes and a professional sport with a large following and offers large purses. This golfer look pleased after a good round of an often frustrating sport. A golf club, 18th flag, ball and tee form the handle of this jug.
