This print showcases a significant artifact from the late 20th century - a PING 6-iron golf club once wielded by the talented African-American golfer, Ethel Funches. The sleek silver shaft, crafted from sturdy metal, exudes both elegance and strength. Atop the club rests a black rubber grip adorned with short grey diagonal lines that intersect in all directions, providing optimal control for any swing. Emblazoned at the center of this remarkable piece is an arrow-like shape depicted through fine line drawing. This symbolizes not only precision and direction but also represents Funches' unwavering determination to conquer every fairway she encountered.
