President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s personally-owned and -used practice golf club. Club consists of a lightweight 35.5″ shaft with a small weight attached to the bottom by several links of chain. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity on a White House card from President Eisenhower’s World War II driver Sgt. Leonard Dry, which reads: “The practice golf club with weighted ball was used by Pres. Eisenhower to practice his golf swing.” Also included is a photo of Dry with the club. An accompanying inventory printout indicates President Eisenhower gave him the club as he was beginning to have doubts it was helping his game. In fine condition. Since the invention of golf, players have utilized interesting shortcuts to improve their game—Ike was no different.
