Description

This auction is for a vintage hickory shaft golf club with the infamous Walter Hagen curved or concave face sand wedge that was banned by the USGA in 1932.  I seem to recall that the contention was that the ball could technically be hit twice on a single swing with the curved face.  Not sure they ever looked at it in slow motion. This club is in presentable condition with typical light use scuffing on the face and sole.  The shaft is ever so slightly bent towards the user and there is maybe 10% of a label left on the upper shaft.  The shaft length is 34.75”  The grip has 2 or 3 small nicks.  The lower grip whipping is good and there is a plastic cap and screw at the top. The club head is marked Walter Hagen with a triangular motif and SAND WEDGE PAT’D 1695598.  See the photos for further condition. Please see my other hickory era golf offerings on ebay. The club will be shipped in a box 40”x5” round and weighing 4 lbs.
