"Dear Otto: / Thank you for your recent letter about your golf clubs. Those do not happen to be clubs which I'm interested in adding to my collections, but it was nice of you to bring them to my attention. / Frankly, it is difficult to put a value on "classic" golf clubs--after all, a club is only worth as much as someone is actually willing to pay for it!… Hope this will be of help to you, and best wishes for continued good golfing. / Sincerely Jack Nicklaus".
