Cool. If I clean up do they have any value?

Just to be clear.....there is pretty much no such thing as "collectable" golf clubs or valuable old golf clubs unless they have some specific link to a VERY famous golfer.

Old golf clubs are not in short supply.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Person. But yes @Carson Brady, very seldom are old golf clubs of any value. And with golf clubs, rare usually means nothing as well.

@GAA

I have a set of Armour 234 iron master irons exactly like yours and the 234 woods. 

The shaft bands do not indicate a flex for what I can tell, they just say Macgregor Tru-Flexion. Do you have any info on this shaft, is this similar to an S flex or R? 

Also, any idea what these retailed for in 1964? The clubs are beautiful to me, leather grips and all, but I was curious on retail to determine if these were considered pro level clubs or budget irons for this era. 

I am excited to play these clubs and was encouraged by your post with hopes of learning more about them. Thanks much.

1970/71/72 MacGregor MT complete set 1-SW.  This is an 11 club set in nearly mint condition with clubs 1-10 iron plus a sand wedge.  Original grips.  Not really of concern whether they are worth anything, I just think they are beautiful clubs with clean and unique ferrules.

I pulled out an old set of irons I received as a gift in the early 60's from and uncle, who had lost the 8 iron. This set, minus the 8, is the MacGregor MT, Tourney Colokrom, REC M75. I was getting ready to donate to Goodwill, but wondered if someone who understands this line has a better idea for what I should do with these clubs. I also have a set, 2 - 9, of the Walter Hagen Haigs I am getting ready to part with as well.

Your thoughts?

I'm  pretty certain that is a 1974 Macgregor Tourney iron. I bought a 2-10 full set that year at the Fort Sam Houston golf course pro shop. Mine had the Propel shaft. I remember hating the irons as to me they had no feel to them. Sorry it is a very late response but just saw the post.

Hey all, new guy here. If I wanted to explore purchasing a set of vintage MacGregor irons, 1970 on back. What would you choose and why?

Are you buying these to play with, or as a collector's item?

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

I just purchased a set of 1958 MacGregor Tommy Armour SS2 copper plated irons. Hopefully I’ll have them Saturday for the driving range. My reasoning for these vintage irons is to feel what golfers felt many years ago. My Sim Max OS Irons are very forgiving. I want something different to work with. David

That will be fun.  Don't forget the metal spikes.  J/K.  Let us know how it goes.  I have a wood-headed McGregor driver passed on by my dad that I take to the range every once in a while.

Depending on your height, they will likely need to be lengthened and regripped to play decent for you. Depending on how old you go, the irons were significantly shorter (about 1 inch). I like the shape of the Macgregor Colokrom's. They are reasonably priced. Great look and good solid strike feel. These sets were made in the early 50's and remade in the early 80s.If your looking for something more collector-ish I may recommend a set of Byron Nelson Tourneys or Tommy Armour .

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
