Walter Hagen Used Putter

(Ron Kirkwood Provenance)

        Presented here is an actual used putter from one of the greatest golfers of all-time, Walter Hagen. In the 1920's and 30's, Hagen famously traveled the globe with golfer Joe Kirkwood putting on exhibitions, which made Hagen even more money than he could make playing tournament golf. The two great golfers, Hagen and Kirkwood, would remain life-long friends.

        This Walter Hagen personal model putter was given directly by Walter Hagen to our consignor, Ron Kirkwood in approximately July 1960, and comes with a letter from Kirkwood attesting to this fact.
