Never wait for a tee time again. Amazing set was made for and used by Richard Nixon during his reign as our nation's president. We'll begin with the clubs themselves, Wilson model X-31. All nine wedges have engraved, "President Nixon" on the back of the blade. Four drivers have the tops of their glossy black heads embossed with those same two historic words in gold lettering. Putter must have been a long-time favorite of Tricky Dick, as it is an antique, wooden-shafted affair dating from well before these clubs were produced. Red and white leather Wilson bag is jaw-dropping, with colorful "Seal of the President of the United States" burning brightly on the back. All of this zips into a white leather travel bag with yet another Presidential Seal on each side. Clubs and bags show definite, loving use and are certainly in condition for many more rounds. Pair of photocopied LOA's are from two employees of Wilson, each of whom verifies that these clubs were produced explicitly for use by the leader of the Free World.
