Frank Sinatra Rare Invitational Tournament Golf Club....

Description

Frank Sinatra Rare Invitational Tournament Golf Club. A very rare copper-plated Frank Sinatra 1963 Invitational putter by MacGregor, one of several given as prizes to players in that year's celebrity Pro Am. The tournament was held at the the Canyon Club in Palm Springs, California, in November 1963. These clubs were presented as souvenirs to the 150 golf pros and members of the showbiz elite who attended the five-day event. Each with a Sinatra caricature and signature engraved on the head. Today they are regarded among the most treasured golf collectibles. There are only a couple of dozen that have been accounted for, with many presumed lost, and the rare few that have been made available to the public have sold for as much as $30,000. This particular putter is in Excellent condition, and would make a fine centerpiece for any collection. From the Jilly Rizzo Estate Archive.
