1951 MacGregor Ben Hogan Parmaker 1622C Stainless Steel irons

My guess is the PM Nelson putter was made for Nelson, probably along with half dozen just like it and he chose the best two among them and gave the rest away. This does not look like a catalog, Pro Shop or retail model. It also appears to be from the era when Nelson was at his peak, early 40s. It doesn't look like it has ever gotten much play from anyone, but was preserved as a keepsake.

+1 with that. The "MacGregor", "Byron Nelson", and "Personal Model" stamps on this blade putter are timeless.

Byron Nelson might not be known much for putting, but he certainly was known for winning.

Compare the Personal Model stamp on your putter to the one used for Ben Hogan's 1953 irons.....

Perhaps Charley Penna has one story on putting from those days of caddying for Byron Nelson, or why Ben Hogan didn't use an Ironmaster putter.....

Sorry to disagree, but personal model was stamped on various clubs which were not used by MacGregor staff or tour players

Darn, does that mean my Byron Nelson putter wasn't Lord Byron's personal club?

After hitting my macgregor 915s so well yesterday I couldn't pass on these clubs, which appear to be 1949 par makers. I have the Macgregor catalog for years 1935-1980 and couldn't find any information on them. Any information and comments are appreciated. These are Hogan 1522's rather than 1622s.

 

Plus there is no eight iron so I have something to search for to complete the set one day. If anyone ever finds one, let me know.

 

The leather grips look awesome

Tim, I knew I had a broken set of these in my inventory. So, after searching my MacGregor hoard, I found a 3, 5 & 6 iron matching your set. I wish I had the 8 iron to help you out...

Thanks so much for looking! I'll slip one of my green shaft 905s into the set until I find one . How do you remember these clubs playing?

Value wise, likely not much. They come in two versions, offset and non-offset, the non-offset one seems to be harder to find and maybe more desirable, (maybe in part with the auction of hogan’s personal 1953 irons a few years ago that used a similar head design).

 

I’m regripping a non-offset set now, really nice on the range. I think they look really sweet design wise.

Charley-

Since this is an issue which we politely disagree on-

Please allow me to include this question to those staffers you have asked me to inquire the following about-

The first MacGregor staffer to win a Tour event with Tourney Colokrom irons? Flame Ceramic 4000 irons?

We know from photos MacGregor Golf had a Tour Van..

There should be records somewhere.

Coralray-

Byron Nelson used that style of blade putter- (Wright & Ditson Harry Cooper?)

Perhaps Lord Byron didn't use your "Personal Model" putter in a tournament, but then, my guess is there are PM putters Byron Nelson did put his hands on.

Look at the "MacGregor" script, "Byron Nelson" signature, and "Personal Model" stamps.

Might anyone have a "Byron Nelson" Ironmaster?

 

Byron Nelson "Personal Model" clubs.  Ladies clubs no less!  We can add these to the list of PM clubs the "Person" never played.
