Joe DiMaggio's 3 Wood Custom Tampa Golf Shop 'JDP' Stamped 3-Wood Club

Joltin' Joe DiMaggio's well used 'Tampa Golf Shop' initials 'JDP' stamped with '5' and three dots also on the sole 3-wood, came by way of The Babe Zaharias Foundation in 1984 after Zaharias' passing - at the same time as Ted Williams' putter also in this auction. A stone's throw away from The Babe Zaharias Foundation was Temple Terrace Country Club in Tampa, FL, longtime host to a tournament titled Italian Open Invitational Golf Tournament - last year celebrating it's 45th annual playing. DiMaggio lived in Hollywood, Florida as well as Boca Raton for a short time in 1985, convenient for him as well. This wasn't just any golf tournament, as the field included both Hall of Fame baseball players and Celebrities alike - friends getting together for a good cause. Al Lopez was the link between his fellow HOF diamond dandies and the foundation. Following the tournament, Joe DiMaggio donated this 3-wood to Lopez for the foundation. 'JDP' is stamped on the sole of this club along with jersey number '5' and three dots, along with the local maker 'Tampa Golf Shop.' A signed letter of provenance from Babe Zaharias Foundation Founder Hal Shaw comes with this lot. 36" 43"
