Gary Player's Personal Used Gary Player Black Knight 'Shakespeare' 6 Iron with Provenance Letter
A Shakespeare iron with a fiberglass shaft that Gary Player used on the course in the 1960's is up for bidding here, very similar to the specs of his 1965 US Open winning set. Wear consistent of round usage can be found on this club, as depicted in the accompanying photos. A gold-tone shaft band is still intact stating that it is indeed made of fiberglass. Player's nine Major championships are tied with Ben Hogan for fourth on the all-time list, trailing only Walter Hagen (11), Tiger Woods (14), and Jack Nicklaus (18). The South African golfer was one of golf's "Big Three" with Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer dating back to the 1960's and 1970's when they were largely responsible for the growing popularity of golf during the game's television era. 37 1/4." A signed letter of provenance comes with this lot.
