Ben Hogan found the secrets of golf in the dirt. Now you can bid for a set of the instruments the Hawk used to dig out those secrets.
A set of irons Hogan personally used in the 1980s is now up for auction on eBay. They can be all yours, right now, for the meager price of $ 35,000.
The irons have been put up for auction by a man who said he obtained them from Jay Edgar, a former executive with the Hogan Tour, the original name of what is now known as the Web.com Tour. As Golf Digest mentions, the included 2-iron-through-Equalizer practice set was used at Shady Oaks Country Club. The clubs have since been re-chromed and re-gripped.
The auction winner gets a letter from Edgar that details how he got the clubs from Hogan's master club designer in 1989, the year before the first season of the Hogan Tour,
The question is: Would you try to play with them and hope to get some golf inspiration by osmosis?
