'Tuxedo' mid iron gold club featuring a head with a chromium finish and a hickory shaft, signed on the shaft in black felt tip, "Bill Clinton." In very good to fine condition, with signs of use to the club.
According to a November 2000 interview with Golf Digest, Bill Clinton’s relationship with golf began early and continued throughout his political career. He first started playing at age 12 at a course in Hot Springs, Arkansas, using clubs borrowed from his uncle; he played casually until age 17, when he stopped for several years. Clinton returned to the game shortly before marrying Hillary, playing with her brothers, and later golfed frequently while serving as governor of Arkansas, often fitting in early-morning rounds at a course near his office. As president (1993–2001), he remained an avid player—his handicap even improved—and he said he typically played about three times per month, averaging around five times a month in the summer, while also practicing his short game at the White House putting green.
Over his eight years in the White House, he reportedly played roughly 400 rounds of golf, making him one of the more active presidential golfers of the modern era. Per Clinton: ‘Golf is like life in a lot of ways: The most important competition is the one against yourself. All the biggest wounds are self-inflicted. And you get a lot of breaks you don't deserve—both ways. So it's important not to get too upset when you're having a bad day.’
