Macgregor Golf TOURNEY CUSTOM Oversize Stainless 1, 3, & 5 WOOD SET
MacGregor is one of the most prestigious Golf brands in the world. Established in 1897, it continues to innovate and produce leading Golf Clubs and Bags with trademark MacGregor styling.
MacGregor Golf, pioneered many of the advances in golf equipment. Lest anyone forget MacGregor’s prowess as a maker of forged blades, the company passed down from one generation of its heralded craftsmen to the next the proper technique for grinding irons. Starting as a round billet of soft carbon steel, a raw forged iron head went through nearly 50 stages of sculpting before it was crowned with the MacGregor stamp.
MacGregor had the most-played irons and woods on the pro circuit for decades. Think back to the 1975 Masters, when the last four players on the course – Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskopf and Tom Watson – all carried the Kelly green-and-white MacGregor staff bag. So did Ben Crenshaw, David Graham and later Curtis Strange.
It was Toney Penna, a Tour winner known as “the sweet swinger,” who recruited the greatest names in golf to play under the MacGregor banner. The advisory staff also included future Hall of Fame members Jack Burke Jr., Craig Wood and Louise Suggs.
By the 1950s, Penna had risen to chief designer. He was taught the basics; the rest he invented. His creations such as the Eye-O-Matic, a two-colored fiber insert that pointed out the club’s sweet spot, and the four-way roll face helped the average golfer hit the ball better.
Some of his innovations became industry standards. For instance, Penna’s MT irons from 1950 were compact blades with an unusually wide top line that were shallow from top to bottom. Penna lowered the center of gravity and put 1 degree less loft on each club, predating by some 30 years what would become common practice.
Business flourished in the 1940s and ’50s.
Some observers point to MacGregor’s sale in 1958 to bowling behemoth Brunswick Corp. – whose golf-crazed president decided to diversify the company’s holdings – as the beginning of the end for MacGregor. The best move made during Brunswick’s decade long ownership of MacGregor was signing Nicklaus after a heated bidding war. First Flight Golf, an upstart company, offered Nicklaus a then-unheard-of $100,000 contract.
“Don’t lose him,” MacGregor’s president ordered, matching the offer.
Review: "The Tourney is an outstanding driver that performs as advertised. Excellent distance, good feel and playability. Looks good at address at when teed high gets high marks. I have been searching for a reliable driver for 3 years. Fairway woods are equally effective."
Right Handed.
