Featured here is a one-of-a-kind Reggie White Green Bay Packers custom-designed golf bag and full set of Ping clubs courtesy of the Babe & George Zaharias Golf Foundation. The personalized leather golf bag comes in the Packers traditional green and yellow scheme with 'Reggie White 92' in large yellow lettering on the front. The Driver 3W and 5W all come with matching and custom-fitting green headcovers. Made for nobody but The Minister of Defense himself. The clubs are:
Putter: Chamois G1005 37 1/2".
Irons: 3-SW Ping Eye 2.
Driver/Woods: 1 3W & 5W Ping Eye 2 with ZZ Lite shafts.
Attached to the bag is a Windsor Park Golf Club (Jacksonville Florida) tag with sticker label that reads "REV. REGGIE WHITE. Sewn down each side in large letters is PACKERS in gold thread over the yellow leather. The lower back pocket is stamped with a Packers helmet and another PACKERS gold thread job. The bag is in excellent condition overall with all straps zippers and pockets completely functional and intact. The clubs all show good use but also are definitely playable. The irons all contain a green dot centered in the PING EYE 2 manufacturers stamping on the reverse of each club face.
According to Hal Shaw president of the Babe & George Zaharias Golf Foundation Reggie White gifted this bag and full set of clubs to a South Florida pastor in 2002 who later donated them to the foundation. Minster Reggie by that time retired from his Hall of Fame NFL career and preaching Gods word around the nation met Pastor Forrest Pollack at a Christian conference in the Tampa area. Apparently they really hit it off. Upon learning that Pastor Forrest had taken a liking to golf Minister Reggie gave him the complete set as a birthday present. Pastor Forrest was a generous contributor to the Babe & George Zaharias Golf Foundation and donated the bag in 2004. Reggie White died in 2004 at the tender age of 43. His legend on the field and legacy in everyday life will forever live on.
Comes with a letter of provenance from the Babe & George Zaharias Golf Foundation Inc. of Tampa Florida. The foundation was founded by Hal Shaw Zaharias' former caddie who toed the bag for the 10-time Women's Major Champion starting in the late 1940's. Since 2002 the foundation has served individuals with disabilities from Shriner Hospital and Camp Florida.
