MacGregor Charley Penna Driver - Circa 1948
Seldom seen MacGregor Charley Penna signature model driver comes with a a red four screw fiber insert. This club also displays a distinctive sole plate which has been designed to lock in place permanently for positive protection. A staple of MacGregor drivers, as appears here, is the 4-way roll face which has been designed to improve distance and accuracy. This driver comes equipped with MacGregor's famed "C" shaft Flex, with firm flex action throughout the entire shaft to add power and club control to the better golfer's game. A distinctive feature of this driver is the paper (fibre) insert which allows the ball to compress solely on the paper, not wood and paper, resulting in a more uniform "feel" and "click" eliminating bad toe or heel shots. The offered driver has never been refinished.

MacGregor 1940's Charley Penna Signature 11 Iron
Tourney clubs were the best of-the best for MacGregor in the 1940's. This was evident with set of woods and irons being individually recorded for the various specs of the clubs. This is the case with this Charley Penna signature model 11 iron which displays its recorded status stamped right on the club. This time period also marked the first time that the wedge, either pitching or sand, was included as part of a matched set of irons. This automatically sold an extra club for the professional. The Tourney club offered in this lot was also fashioned with a new feature of MacGregor clubs, the Neutralizer neck, so called, because it neutralizes annoying shock and vibration. The Neutralizer is a section of springy hickory, oil tempered and air driven into the tip of the shaft. It gives rigidity and strength at the neck and absorbs shock and vibration. No club equipped with the MacGregor Neutralizer has ever broken at the neck, was the claim of the company.
