MacGregor Tourney M09T Jumbo L.F.F. Driver

[weeicemon]

Here's a beauty. This is a MacGregor Tourney M09T Jumbo L.F.F. driver that was owned and played by legendary entertainer, Dean Martin. Note the "DINO" stamp on the sole. Had a letter from Dean's daughter, Deanna, attesting to the authenticity of the club. I would think it would be pretty rare to own a club from a famous entertainer like Dean Martin. Add that to the fact that its an already rare M09T Jumbo L.F.F. and that's an unbeatable combination! Club has its original shaft and grip but the head has been refinished.

Awesome! and in nice condition. Is that 1 and 3/4th inches deep?

"Everybody.....Loves Somebody.....Sometime!"

My favorite MacGregor "Winged MT" stamp...plus the M09 JUMBO LFF

....and the personalized "[u]D[/u]INO" stamp.

Imagine that club did some talking at a few courses in Hollywood....and Vegas!

"Frank....watch this one!!!"

...bet there's a Dean Martin Ironmaster out there somewhere....

I remember when that was on Ebay , I tried to win it but it was more than I was willing to go. Very cool club.

That's Amore! Thanks for sharing a bit of persimmon history with us.

I just say Pawn Stars and the paid $500 (and change) for a putter that belonged to Dean Martin (but with no personal stamping). The putter was nothing compared to this thing though.

[rex235]

If Dean Martin got a personalized M09 Jumbo "LFF" Driver from MacGregor.....

Chances are, somewhere, a putter with his name stamp exists.....unless he didn't want one.......

Frank had one.....

Sammy had one......

Perry Como got a mallet....

And Dean doesn't?

No self respecting "Rat Pack" member would hit the course without one.

The putter on pawn stars had a hickory shaft and copper colored insert on the face. It wasn't anywhere close to as nice as an ironmaster.

[rex235]

You're right.

With putting being so personal, "Dino" may have liked the copper-faced model putters.

If the putter you described with a copper face also had a hickory shaft, perchance it was an [u]Otey Crisman[/u]...

[i]but there are copper faced IMs, so he may have tried one, but not liked it...[/i]

I definitely looked like that. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder (particularly when it comes to putters), but I'd definitely take the ironmaster...
