Britain’s tallest man Paul Sturgess was part of the celebrity line-up for the British Masters pro am at Close House and we thought a look into his golf bag, recently kitted out by PING, would give an interesting insight into what it takes to custom fit a 7ft 7ins basketball player.
Paul, who has been part of the Harlem Globetrotters for four years, is capable of slam-dunking a basketball while barely leaving the ground as well as being able to drive a golf ball out of the driving range at Close House.
As you’d expect, his clubs are longer than standard – his driver measuring 48ins – while each club is fitted with a Golf Pride Jumbo grip and 15 wraps of tape Here’s what’s in his bag…
