President Dwight Eisenhower's Custom "Ike" Headcovers

        What an incredible find! When we first learned of Eisenhower's golf bag and clubs, they were sitting in the garage of a family in Augusta, Georgia, where they had resided for years after being passed down in the family for decades. Unfortunately, we were told, the family wasn't all that keen on selling the clubs. Fast forward a few months and we finally have Eisenhower's clubs - and we got them just in time to feature them in our Masters Week auction!

        Presented in this lot are 3 of Dwight Eisenhower's custom headcovers - each emblazoned with his nickname "Ike".  These custom headcovers, 2-4 woods, were found with Eisenhower's bag, clubs and driver headcover that are offered elsewhere in the auction. Therefore, it is only natural to assume that these too were used by Ike at famed Augusta National Golf Club. Very few pieces of Eisenhower golf memorabilia are known to exist, and even fewer relate to Augusta National. These headcovers are in remarkable condition.
