The Fred Simmons Collection

Co-owner with Arnold Palmer of the ProGroup out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Fred Simmons was as networked in the golf industry as they came. There Simmons developed the Palmer Peerless, a then innovative persimmon driver. While at ProGroup he would assist in designing courses and travel the world with his knowledge of the game, passing it on to anyone that Simmons crossed paths with. "I have a good friend there. Call them and mention my name and they will take care of you," he was famous for saying to those close to him. Immersed in golf club design, Simmons became close with Ben Hogan while Chairman of the Board at his equipment company with his namesake. Simmons and Hogan were golf partners at Colonial, Brook Hollow etc. in the 1970's when they weren't in Hogan's Fort Worth plant examining clubs. Simmons would bring Valerie Hogan vintage photos that brought back memories and forth stories. Directly from his collection by way of Simmons' daughter Allison Schrock, we bring you The Fred Simmons Collection.
