Former President George HW Bush golf items sold for $30K (The Associated Press)

BOSTON (AP) -- A set of golf items that once belonged to former President George H.W. Bush has sold at auction for $30,000.

Bush had given the Callaway golf bag, size 11 Nike Air golf shoes and Titleist Scotty Cameron 'Big Sur' putter to a worker at the Cape Arundel Golf Club in Maine.

The auction ended Thursday for the items including golf balls that were offered by Boston-based RR Auction.

The nation's 41st president was known for his breakneck golf pace while vacationing in Kennebunkport, Maine.

He once zipped through 18 holes in less than two hours.
