The Ryder Cup
Rare Near-Mint Cardinal "Giant" Head Wedge
This is a rare
near-mint example of "The Giant" , which was described on page 592 of the famous
golf club book A Clubmakers Art (Volume II) by Jeffrey Ellis as "[o]ne of the
most popular of all golf collectibles." This club was produced by Scottish maker
Hendry & Bishop in the 1920's, which is the exact same Giant Niblick featured in
A Clubmaker's Art. Only the example offered in this auction is in even better
condition than the club that was part of the Jeffrey Ellis collection, which is
no easy feat.
