Whatever happened to? | Golf Monthly

The PCB Tours - from 1998 - are also great clubs. Forged by Miura, the design was resurrected as the CB301 quite a few (some 5-7) years later. There's a set relisted on Ebay (not mine) that didn't make the £90 starting price!

Just had a look at them; lovely. Shape reminds me of the JNP Forged irons I had in the 80s/90s. Satin finish, diamond markings with gold infill on the face and soft as butter. Bought a 2 iron to match which I never used. Still have it. Decided to keep it when I sold the set because it's just so nice. The Muirfield 20th muscle backs form that time were really awesome.

Have to confess to being a bit of a MacGregor fanboy. They were the clubs I longed for as a kid. Breaks my heart to see the name now just associated with mass produced budget starter sets.

Will the "Greatest Name in Golf" rise again? Had hopes when Greg Norman was briefly involved a few years back but I guess there were problems with the business as he moved out pretty swiftly.

One of their last proper clubs, the MT Pros, can be picked up for a fraction of what they are worth. New set on e-bay currently for £229.

Re Macgregor versus Wilson winning Majors, I think Paddy's wins took Wilson past MacGregor.

I think if you listed all Major wins by brand some of the current market leaders might not come out looking too good compared to some of the old forgotton brands. Wouldn't be surprised if Ram had more Majors thanks to Watson and Price than TM and Ping combined.
