MacGregor had such a rich history in Golf for many decades. Between their persimmon woods and irons their ties to many legends is unparalleled. This thread could pertain to so many iron models but I will start a thread with a model I am well aware of having gamed these. The MacGregor Muirfield 20th irons have their place in history as being the "prototype" of the irons Jack Nicklaus went on to win his 6th Masters. As with modern classic MacGregor irons these were made from 1025 carbon steel, nickel plated and really solid. My handicap at its best with these was around a 4 or so. I replaced these with 1990 reissue of the MacGregor VIP irons (where I eventually became a scratch golfer).
This is my 8 iron of my set of Muirfield 20th irons. My brother currently has these but I will be getting them back before Spring. I will probably have the faces blasted (am toying with the idea of getting the chrome stripped then face blasted). I will reshaft these with Nippon Modus Tour 105 stiff shafts.
