From Gar:
My father was Gordon MacRae the star of the movies "Oklahoma" and "Carousel" and an avid golfer who played in most of the pro-am tournements around the country.. He left me his golf clubs when he died in 1984. I don't play golf anymore and am moving.
He has a PGA Golf Bag (Tuff Horse) red,white and Blue with his name stitched on the bag. He has Tony Penna woods #1,3,4,5- . A pro simmon sand wedge from the Bob Hope Texaco Classic with emblem. A Palmer sand Wedge from the Charlie Boswell Celebrity Classic engraved. A 7 wood by Al B'ham. 3 wood shafted putters by Otey Crisman. Irons are Wilson Staff.
Do you know of anybody who would be interested in these clubs or know the value?
Thank You,
Gar MacRae
If no one you've contacted is interested there may not be much value in the golf collectibles arena. However, there may be value in the Hollywood collectibles arena.
