A Slazenger golf club used by Ethel Funches. The shaft is silver in color and is made out of metal. There is a black rubber grip at the top. The grip has short green diagonal lines going in both directions all around it. In the center there is a line drawing of an arrow-like shape. There is text going vertically down both sides of the arrow. On the proper right side of the arrow it reads [GRIP RITE] and on the proper left side it reads [SWING RITE]. The head of the club is made of metal and is gold in color. It is a half-circle shape that is wider at the bottom on the proper right side. There are scuffs, scratches, and areas of discoloration. The proper left side is flat since it is a right-handed club and the ball would be hit from the left side. The underside of the head is flat.
