| Brian,
I can't think of anyone locally who specializes in classic club
work. I wouldn't be comfortable with trying just anyone with those
clubs.
Perhaps the best service and investment protection would come from
contacting 'The Golf Works' in Ohio. Ralph Maltby, a foremost expert
on all aspects of club work, runs this facility and their work would
be guaranteed. All of their literature about club work indicates
that they will not perform work that 'lessens' the value of a club.
I have done work with them before and have always been satisfied
with their products, service and attitude. My opinion is that if
they were my clubs they would be refinished by 'The Golf Works'.
For what it's worth....

| 202.3 | GolfWorks Phone Number | VIRGO::MURPHY | I want you to kill all the gophers... | Thu Feb 25 1988 11:00 | 13 |
| Sorry I didn't have the info before but I couldn't remember the
details.
Please inquire about the refinishing at The GolfWorks by phoning
toll free at 1-800-848-8358. They also have another number for
'Technical Information'. It is 1-614-323-4193.
One of the things that I couldn't remember was the name of one of
their staff - Tom Wishon - who authored "The Golf Club Identification
and Price Guide". His book is used as the industry source and reference
on clubs (classic or not). I thumbed through this book last night
but it only goes back to 1950 and wouldn't contain your older
MacGregors.

| There is a very fine golf club refinisher in Southboro who does
work for several clubs as well as collectors like myself.He uses
a set of Ben Hogan MacGregor's he refinished and they are a fine
example of his normal work(Yes,Ben signed MacGregors until he formed
his own company,so these woods are MOST VALUABLE!).
His name is Eddie Merrins(?) and his street runs parallel to the
St.Marks golf courses EAST side.He lives in a white cape that just
had a breezway added and skylights in the roof.Also,Neveda Bob's
should give you his phone number.He does all of the work for Kurt
S. at framingham as well!
GOLFWORKS is also very good depending on the craftsman that receives
the work.They are mostly old BURKE workers left over from one of
the countries finer club makers.They suffer only from the fact that
the service can be very slow and clubs have been known to be lost
in mail/planes/etc.
Good luck.

I do know of a Lou Gregorio in N.Reading Ma. who did a great job
with my persimmons. He has a collection of Classic clubs he has
re-finished and they look great. "Lou Gregorio's" on Rte.28 in
N.Reading Ma.
