Based on ancient Scottish lore, the history of golf began with shepherds passing their time by hitting stones or sheep's dung with curved sticks. The 'crook,' served many noble uses for its owner. Control, protection, balance, and numerous other utilitarian purposes.Paying homage to the beginnings of the game, the Sheep Ranch crook respects the essence of golf at its core. The Shepherd. Their crook. Their target. And passing time playing a game we've all grown to love over the years.
