Well, i see that hole as well, but there is no way you would get an object or a shaft shaped as irregularly as that if this were to have been turned on a lathe.
More likely someone had an attachment ring at the base of the club at some point. might not be an original feature, but added later by a collector. Hard to say.
As was suggested earlier, identifying the wood could go a long way to determining the place of origin. You might want to travel that route.
