For sale is a rare iron set from MacGregor - Hand ground Tour Issue 4-9 NVG2 irons by Don White, master clubmaker who made clubs for Nicklaus, Norman and Palmer, as well as many others while at MacGregor. Don has since worked for Scratch Golf, and currently grinds for National Custom Works. These are the only set of game improvement irons I have been able to track down, and the only set of NVG2's with the famous DW stamp on them. NVG2's were played by Greg Norman on tour in 2007. The clubs do show signs of use, but are in fairly good condition; the grooves are still very good and faces in great shape. There are some small chrome cracks where the face meets the hosel, but have had them checked out by my trusted local shop and they are just cosmetic. Shafts are TrueTemper DynaLite Gold s300 in great shape that are 3/4 inch longer than standard, and Golf Pride grips with a little life left in them. Asking $450 OBO Shipped.

Awesome clubs, need re-gripped. True Temper black label stiff shafts. 5 iron shows mild chrome wear, the rest are good and paint fill has been refreshed. Legendary clubs. $70+actual shipping by either FedEx or USPS Priority. PayPal as a gift or add 3% to cover fees. PM me or email dwcopple@yahoo.com

The Kinloch Club posted some new photos of the course this week and it made me want to play there again - looks like I'll be back in New Zealand in November, so I might just do that. Anyway, here are the photos - the only Nicklaus course I've played thus far, but it'd take a lot to beat it. The undulations on both fairways and greens are insane. The last photo is the par-5 18th. I ended up in the bunker on the photographers edge of the green. Needless to say, with the water so close it was a little nervy but managed to get up and down from there for victory #humblebrag lol I posted a review of this course after I played it - linked here if anyone is interested: The Kinloch Club Course Review If you ever get to New Zealand, this should be on your list of courses to play. They're actually opening up a lodge and villas on the course in the middle of this year - FYI, the lake beyond is teeming with trout as well! Beautiful part of the world. The Kinloch Club

Just another reason I love this tournament! The man still has it!!!
