MacGregor woods

[Darrell]

I have a set of MacGregor Jack Nicklaus oil-hardened, persimmon woods, 1, 3, 4, and 5. does anyone have any idea what they might be worth or if they are worth anything? They are in what I would consider fair to good condition.

These threads pop up from time to time.

More than likely, they're not worth much of anything.

But, there are such beautiful clubs.  shame to think they aren't worth much.

Have you checked E-bay?  Most from $10 up to $100. Real Persimmon more than Laminated Maple, but not much. I have a Palmer Persimmon that is in excellent condition, new grip, e.t.c.  I forgot what I paid, but it was not much.  They show up in thrift stores from time to time at around $6 or $7

I played MacGregor MT irons (+ SW)  and woods from about 1974 to 1994. When I got new clubs, the fitter recommended that I keep the MacG set in a period memorabilia bag. He said they had much more value as historic objects (sentimental and personal) than as a $100 trade-in.

I'm glad I kept them, and I likely will get them regripped in classic Golf Pride black-and-green Victory grips which have popped back up on the market.

Since you're a golfer in the Carolinas, consider finding a period bag and making a little corner display. Also, if they've been well cared for, you could let junior golfers try the old-style persimmons.

Just a thought...

Thanks for the post. sounds good. I was hoping to get enough out of them to upgrade the clubs I'm playing now. Or at least, a down payment.
