Gamage was a large London Retail store and Department store and was agents for some of the best names in golf equipment. We must presume their clientele golfed with clubs; we serious bird hunters only golf with guns. I am not against golf, since I rather suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering Quail hunting.
