Made by MacGregor between 1927 and 1929, this MacGregor Chieftain matching driver, brassie, and spoon have ivory inserts in the face, ivory inserts in the crown, and ivory backweights. The red dots on these clubs are threaded Scruloc inserts made from galalith, a casein product made from goats milk! When they were made, Chieftains were the most expensive MacGregor clubs a golfer could buy.
This set has original wood shafts. Wood shafts were an option with this set that not many golfers selected. MacGregor offered wood shafts for traditionalists who were in no hurry to give up the tried and true.
The shafts and grips and all the ivory and other inlays are original. The original finish on the heads have been beautifully redone. The brassie and spoon are marked with an “L” in a circle indicating that these clubs were made for a lady, which explains the 41" driver These are some of the most beautiful golf clubs ever made.
