Leo Diegel Superfine Mid Iron - Warranted Hand Forged - W/out Grip

This Leo Diegel club measures 38½" to heel. Diegel won the PGA Championship in in 1928 and 1929, was a member of the first four Ryder Cup teams, and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2003. Although it currently has no grip, it can easily be re-gripped by a club maker.

_{THE JOHN ROTH COLLECTION}

The September Auction features many items from the collection of John Roth (1940-2015.) John spent 25 years amassing a collection of golf memorabilia and golf antiques that would rival most of the golf museums around the globe. John had a passion for the history and nuance of the game, its traditions and the ever-changing evolution of the manufacture of its equipment. John was a member of the Golf Collectors Society, and actively participated in many of its events around the country. John was also a long-time player in the Society of Hickory Golfers’ tournaments around the country, which honor the traditions of the game by playing with antique, wooden-shafted clubs. During his lifelong participation in the two organizations, John won or placed highly in several tournaments and made many lifelong friends with whom he found camaraderie in his pursuit of all things golf. It is his family’s wish that the items that John treasured so much find loving new homes where they can continue to be enjoyed and tell the history of the sport that meant so much to their husband and father.
