Is this the same Northwestern from decades ago? Lol My very first set of clubs were Northwestern clubs. It was like a complete bag in a box set. Early 90’s I think. 🤔

Looks like you could still do that 🙃

LogicalOne Same company. Used to be in Chicago, think they are still at the same location.
Jeff Sheets is the designer.

I grabbed a full set of irons 1 day at Salvation Army that looked to be unhit. Great looking irons. Put them on Ebay and they sold to some fella in MI.....whose name was on the irons....Dave Hill!! 😲And it was 'the' Dave Hill, PGA winner.

LogicalOne Used to see them at Herman’s World of Sporting Goods at the mall. Little forged irons back in the 1970’s and later on 13,14 and 15 woods!

I’m thinking now it’s like putting lipstick on a pig.

Short drive for him to get from SS to Northwestern.

I like 'em. 😞

LBlack14 They look OK to me also. Just not very fond of those fat bottoms, this late in life anyway🤣. Even if the price is appealing.

The only time in my life when I was a pretty good putter was with a Northwestern blade putter🫢.

I did some digging and remembered that Northwestern Golf was started by the Rosasco Brothers in Chicago.....I think I had a couple of Northwesterns growing up......

Northwestern was sold here in K Mart type stores way back when.
Nobody I knew played them.

Spuzz but up there, they were more commonly known as... " the only goddamn lefty clubs on the market"

That's the Northwestern I remember. Bottom of the price barrel junk.

Those look way different than the Roberto De Vicenzo version I have sitting in the garage.

sdandrea1 Must have been some reason they were the #1 brand/top selling brand in the world back then. 🤔
