Jack Nicholson spends
A-list Hollywood actor splashes the dollar on new set of Honma equipment
American actor Jack Nicholson has spent £50,000 on a new set of golf equipment.
The 76-year-old, who has twice won the Academy award for Best Actor for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and for As Good as It Gets, has splashed the dollar on a 14-club set from high-end Japanese manufacturer Honma, which has been in the business for 54 years but has never produced anything quite like this.
According to the company, the exorbitant clubs require the handiwork of 100 artisans, who spend eight weeks crafting the clubs out of platinum and 24-karat gold, among other materials.
Whether they will help Nicholson, a reported 12-handicapper, who picked up the game 20 years ago, is another matter.
But he isn’t the only headliner to shell out for them. Big hitters Marc Anthony and Danny De Vito also own a set of Honmas.
