MacGregor Tourney golf club - help identify

[WillieT]

In the hodgepodge of old clubs in the bag there is one that intrigues me most.  Mainly I have not been able to garner much info about it.  The one example I have is a 4iron.  All I can see in terms of identifying marks is the MacGregor raised logo and the word Tourney in the sole.  (see attached pics).  Any input into where this was in the MacGregor family would be appreciated.  The iron hits well and I really like the looks of it.....checking sources such as Ebay tends to yield a club or two from time to time, so I am not sure how popular this club was.

And I believe @sheepdog may be of help too.

The raised lettering suggests that this is a cast club, so certainly not old or collectable. Older iron clubs were all forged, with markings stamped into them.

That iron was produced from 1981-1984. Cast, 2nd tier product.

Thanks guys - figured it may have been a "newer" club in the hodgepodge bag.  As it is 2nd tier stuff from MacGregor at the time, does that mean it was not a playable design.  I love the design of the club head itself - simply stated and not a lot of fancy markings.  Any thoughts on playability, etc. as I am hearing it isn't among the collectibles of the golf world.

Yes it is playable. However a Corvair ain't a Corvette.

Great club. I remember when I started to play golf, I have been using this club from time to time. Such memories.

Actually it’s a take off of the Spaulding executive, Hogan Magnum low profile designs. Very easy to hit.

Love that analogy!  Then again I've never been a Corvette person.  I tend to be somewhere in between a Corvair and Corvette in design tastes and influences.  One look at my current golf bag testifies to that - TaylorMade R580 Driver, 3W and 5W woods; Tour Edge GeoMax 3 & 4 Hybrids; Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scot 5 - 9irons along with matching P, G, & S wedges, Odyssey Putter.  I am a mutt when it comes to golf.
