Approximate head size:- a = 11cm b = 3cm c = 4.9cm Tom, son of Willie Dunn Sr and brother of Willie Dunn Jr, a member of a great golfing dynasty family, was himself a golfer, club maker and prolific golf course architect, claiming to have laid out a total of 137 courses, notably many around London.
