1970's Jack Nicklaus Tournament Used Golf Bag.
<B>1970's Jack Nicklaus Tournament Used Golf Bag.</B></I> Golf's equivalent of Mickey Mantle, the flaxen-haired Golden Bear was the American dream of a sports superstar, with movie star looks and boy next door charm to match his unparalleled athletic abilities. The offered green and white leather MacGregor bag accompanied the legendary linksman at the crest of his storied career, a period that saw him capture six of his record eighteen Major Championship victories. It comes to us from the Professional Caddies Association, which is consigning the historic piece to raise funds for its charitable interests, and informs us that this bag was used by Nicklaus from January 1971 through December 1975. Interior "MacGregor" factory coding lists this bag as serial number "002," attributing the bag definitively to this iconic golfer far more than even the "Jack Nicklaus" applied in vintage black tackle twill to the center striping could allow. Wear is fantastic throughout, recalling a long life in the presence of a legend, but could still ably render service to its new owner if required. Originally sourced through Nicklaus' long time personal caddie "Angie" Argea.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
