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.

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

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?

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.

      Yeah I have taken lessons. I also got clubs fitted in like 2011 ish. My driver and wedges aren't from that set though.    1. I'm just not sure why I can't seem to get the face back to square. I don't have that problem with my other clubs. Sure the longer ones a miss tends to be a slice, but I don't need to make a grip change to only sometimes hit the ball reasonably straight.   2. I think there is a bit of inaccuracy there. The number I have in my head is like 195 for my 5 iron. 4 iron also definitely has more variance than all my other irons, but 210ish is about right for non mishits.

      For multiple reasons, including "why should anyone else care to continue to search for someone else's ball?" No thanks.
