differentiate and of higher quality. Too expensive though,
so I've been happy playing balls I find in the woods.

| 1422.13 | Old MacGregor Tourneys | LUDWIG::TREMBLAY | | Fri Jan 17 1992 16:39 | 13 |
| from .4 to .10
my 1958 Macgregor Tourneys - I've got the whole set! 1,3,4,5 woods
2-SW (no PW) I reshafted the 5 wood with an Aldila HM-40 and put some
lead under the sole plate to bring the swingweight up. I also put a
wrapped calfskin grip on it - my pride and joy. I reshafted the irons
with Dynamic Golds and had them rechromed but the old forged blades
aren't as forgiving as my newer Tourneys. The other woods haven't
been touched but I have some plans for them in the future as I've taken
up club building and repair as a hobby in the last few years. They
were a gift from my father-in-law who bought them new in 1959 as left-
overs. Great set of sticks but I can't hit them very well.

| 1422.19 | A "Nit..." | MRKTNG::VARLEY | | Mon Jan 20 1992 16:30 | 10 |
| Re: .6 - I left out one detail:
Glove - Neumann calf or Foot-Joy "Weathersoft." If you haven't tried
the latter, you're missing out on a good thing. Quite a bit cheaper
than the "Sta-Soft" and it feels as good and lasts longer. IMO, the all
time best glove was the old "Star-Grip." Wore out like a Kleenex, but -
what a "Feel." I finally woke up and realized that at my level of play,
I should consider cost effectiveness a bit when buying gloves...

Oooh, you people are really getting into detail. Here are additional
product plugs.....
Bag - Sun Mountain (Light, comfortable, durable)
Shoes - Etonic (Believe in supporting the local economy)
Hat - Baseball (For the Mark James look and to cover bald spot)
Glove - None (Hands are cheaper and easier to maintain)
Cart - None (Enjoy wrecking the shoulder and back)
Shirt - Varied (The looser the better)
Sweater - Izod (For the yuppy look)
Rain Suit- Yes (Added this year, since the last 5 times out, it
has rained. The sun will now probably shine
every round this year.)
Pants - Yes (Shorts, almost never. Legs are an accredited
eyesore)
Socks - Yes (With holes)
Jock - No (As long as Golf remains a non-contact sport)
Rulebook - Yes (1976 - Rules were less complicated then)

| 1422.22 | the swings the thing | MICROW::MOOK | Where are you between two thoughts? | Tue Jan 21 1992 08:31 | 11 |
| - 2 smashed Oreo cookies
- 1 dried up apple core (courtland I believe)
- 1 black banana peel (chaquita medium ripe at the time)
you can see the key to my game, food and plenty of it! Clubs? Hey, it don't
really matter - as long as the flex is right and the grips are new and fit
your hands.
