Up for sale is a rare set of golf clubs produced for the Playboy Enterprise of Hugh Hefner.
The set is the three iron through the sand wedge. There are eight (8) clubs total all with steel shafts. The 6 iron is missing so the clubs in the set are the 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, sand wedge, and pitching wedge. All clubs are marked with the playboy iconic Bunny Head and Playboy Logo. These clubs were made in the USA and from what I've been told were produced by Ben Hogan. The history on these particular clubs is hard to come by. As you could order the often available playboy putter through the Playboy Magazine ads of the 1960s to the 1980s these clubs from what I can determine were given away as a prize during golf tournaments back in the day.
These same clubs were offered previously as a 1 of 2 prototype sets offered to Playboy and rejected by Hugh Hefner. This is most likely untrue and the clubs offered here were most likely a limited edition (no more than 200 - 300 sets ever produced). Of course even this could be debated since as I stated facts on these clubs are hard to come by. This set is NOT used but due to age the grips show some drying. The club faces and heads are all in MINT condition with the original plastic protective sleeves still on each of them. The original box the clubs came in has some wear and tear to it.
I say someone could re-grip the clubs put on their best smoking jacket and hit the course for a fun day or golf or this could be the perfect item for the Playboy collector in your life. Anyway you look at this item it is unique and will be hard to come by once they are sold. All sales are final so please ask as many questions as you'd like prior to bidding. Thank you for looking at this item.
