Jimmy Demaret's Personal Ram Zebra Face-Balanced Patent Pending Putter with Red Stripes
This lot contains golf's ultimate entertainer Jimmy Demaret's personal Ram Zebra Face-Balanced Patent Pending Putter with Red Stripes. This putter was given to and used by Jimmy Demaret towards the very end of his career. The Zebra mallet putter was produced in 1975, 8 years prior to Demaret's passing. Extensive usage by Demaret is present on this putter's head, with some additional wear possibly added from transportation and storage later.
The 3-Time Masters Champion was a breed of his own, the son of a paint salesman and friend to many of the A-List pop culture stars. His father's profession was important, as it instilled his enthusiasm in colorful outfits on the links - often described as flamboyant. Jimmy wore his personality on his shirt, quite literally. The opportunity to offer items from Demaret's personal collection came through his godson Ronnie Renfrow, in hopes that these select items are appreciated as much as he did. Ronnie Renfrow has signed a letter of provenance that will accompanying this lot.
