A traditional golf club maker in Tasmania’s north-east says he hopes to pass on his centuries-old craft to the next generation by hiring an apprentice.

Ross Baker works out of a small workshop at Barnbougle golf course at Bridport in the state’s north-east.

Mr Baker believes he is the only professional golf club maker using traditional materials and techniques.

“There’s a few guys that do it as a bit of a hobby, but this is actually my work, I’ve been club making for 41 years,” he said.
