Karsten Solheim was the most influencial clubmaker in the history of the game. It was Karsten who literally re-invented the golf club when he devised and engineered perimeter weighted irons, woods, and putters in the 1960s.  Every perimeter-weighted iron in every bag today is the result of Karsten and the effectiveness of his Ping perimeter-weighted irons. Clubmakers in the 1970s and thereafter had to jump on the wagon he was driving or be left behind.

Offered here is a set of 1967 forged, cavity back Ping Anser sand wedge. Anser irons were one of the earliest perimeter-weighted irons in the history of golf and hand built by Karsten and his sons Allan and John. Karsten produced 300 Anser iron sets. The Sand wedges were sold separately and not marked with unique set numbers like the irons were. 

This example was not used much and appears to have its original Golf Pride Victory Grip and original white paint in the back cavity.  This is a beautiful, rare sand wedge with great history!
