I have a set of MacGregor XW Registered irons and woods with matching serial numbers in fair condition.  Can you give me any info on these such as manufacture date and value? 

Welcome to the Sand Trap. Most of us would do Google searches for this. I am not aware of a vintage golf club site, but there may be one.

Search these on eBay and often times it will lead you to a site that deals in vintage clubs.

I happen to know more than I should about MacGregor forged irons of the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's.

I probably own 18 sets of these vintage beauties.

If you have questions about this era of golf,  I may be able to help get some answers.

I have studied and still use as a reference the Jim Kaplan MacGregor and Wilson golf history catalogs.

Hello. I am a fan of anything and everything old that man has created. What can you tell me about this set of 2-10 Macgregor blades I just picked up?

I'm interested in assembling a set from my birth year, 1970. Could you point me in the direction of a resource that would help me identify my options for MacGregor forged models?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi 

 

Any info on these irons would be appreciated. 

Iron number and macgregor on the sole. 

 

Then a clean back with just "tourney" on the top half of the blade. Above a ridge mark for the heel

I've been using a set of the Macgregor Silver Scot Tourney's, Rec No. 915 and love them. The shafts still have the silver labels on them, saying Tourney V. Would you know what level stiffness that equates to? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

Thanks

Hi guys i have just bought a set of macgregor forged tourney custom irons and didnt know if anyone would able to let me know any more info on them? Age, anyone who used to use them on tour, (as apparently the ones I got were used in the open championship)? Thanks

 I am looking to make a short “Sunday” set.  I have come across a set of MacGregor Graham Marsh forged irons which may suit.  Pictures suggest muscle backs.  Do you know anything about these?

Hello all, I have the opportunity to buy a complete set of McGregor Tour Classic II irons. They come with a bag and trolley and thought they could make a good set to lend to visitors who come to see me and don't want to bother travelling with their clubs...Would it be a good Idea  to have them around ?

Seeing as how @GAA started this topic and hasn't visited the site since June 2019, I'm going to say these questions are probably not going to get answered.

I'm not sure if we have any other MacGregor experts here.

GAA here. Yes I have been away for about a year and I have seen a few Posts asking questions.

The shaft stiffness question, the Tourney V shaft is a stiff and those were probably second line department store sold clubs and not Pro lines, especially if they do not have a double row of XXX on the upper hosel.

Don't know anything about the Graham Marsh clubs.

The MT's look very much like the 1968-69 M/T's with heavy muscle back. RT2CA. 

The MT Tourney TR9 also is similar. 1969 step sole version with the heavy muscle back.

I probably have five sets of this vintage, most are Step Soles.

I am not familiar with the MacGregor Silver Scot Tourneys.

Do they look closer to the Tommy Armour 985's the Collector 709's or the Tourney Master 234's?

    • My point was that they were obviously simpatico, enjoyed playing together, and that surely contributed something to their good results. No more than that. 
    • They haven't played as many matches together as people seem to think they have, and when they did, they were some of the top five to ten players in the world at the time.
    • If you are that far out of it, how many stars could you possibly have?
    • There is a lot more match play played in the UK. One of the reasons for that is the different golf model over there. Here in the US, people either play public courses at a dollar cost per round or pay astronomical membership fees to belong to a private club. Even then a lot of the privates still have significant per round costs through caddies/carts. In the UK, most people belong to a club, the cost of which for a year is broadly similar to a month or two worth in the US. When your cost to play the round you're playing is basically $0, it's a lot easier to accept hitting half the shots in alt shot or picking up once you're out of a hole in matchplay. If you've paid $80-100 for the round you're playing, it's a big ask to hit only half the shots. Consequently matchplay is much more common over there and alt shot is also. There are some clubs (Royal St George's and Muirfield for a couple of famous examples), which are basically two ball courses. If four of you want to play there you have no choice but to play foursomes. Can you imagine that being accepted in the US?
    • The NBA is trying to prevent tanking to get better draft picks.  https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48763248/adam-silver-says-nba-present-3-2-1-lottery-proposal-curb-tanking The concept is that the bottom 3 teams would have worse odds than teams 4 through 10, who would have equal odds. In addition, they could be penalized by having their draft position moved and also monetary fines for tanking.  My concerns are the following. If you are out of it, it would be detrimental to have your stars injured and not develop younger players. Which would naturally cause more loses.
