Product description
You submitted a sample of a Professional Golf Set (no item number), which is being returned upon your request. The item consists of three golf clubs (driver, iron, putter), 3 plastic golf balls, 3 plastic tees, a plastic cup with a flag for practice putting, and a golf bag packaged together on a plastic covered cardboard hang card. The clubs are sized for children and measure approximately 27” in length. All three clubs have shafts made of metal, hard plastic handgrips, and hollow plastic heads. The zippered red and blue textile golf bag measures approximately 21” in length and holds the three clubs. The Professional Golf Set is an imitation of a real golf set and not considered functional enough to qualify as a junior edition of tariff heading 9506, which provides for “Golf clubs and other golf equipment; parts and accessories thereof.” Instead the Professional Golf Set is a toy set designed to provide amusement for a child role-playing as a professional golfer.
