The nicest set of persimmon driver and fairway woods I have seen in 45 years of golf. 1 of a kind commemorative woods:
Henry G. Picard sold Sam Snead his driver for $5.25 in 1936.. . Snead played it for 17 years and over 100 wins.
It was made by Wilson, for Dunlop Rubber, who sponsored Snead and Picard. It was put up for auction with a $250,000 starting bid recently. Picard won the 1938 Masters and the 1939 PGA and many other tournaments. Great history.
Snead and Picard were both club pro's in Hershey, PA, 30 miles from my home, at one point in time.
These clubs are persimmon. Picard's signature is stamped on the top of each head. Black painted shafts and gorgeous leather wrap grips.
These came to me from a collector who got them from a collector in western PA, where Arnold Palmer lived. His thought was that they came from the collection of Arnie, but this cannot be proven. I cannot verify their pedigree but supposedly they were made as a tribute/commemorative to Picard and his Wilson/Dunlop driver that Snead used. I am also listing a gorgeous set of BurrKeyBilt woods that came from the same source.
Louisville Golf still makes custom persimmon clubs that run hundreds of dollars apiece, so these Picards had to have cost well over $1,000 and more. I would love to know the history of these gorgeous clubs.
Please email any questions. They were never hit but have been in storage for a long time. I rate them a 9.5 of 10 condition.
No reserve. Thank you and please view the BurrKeyBilt woods on my other listing.
I have sold tens of thousands of clubs and these are my favorites. Will be well packed and shipment will be insured.
