660.0. "SAMPLE PRICES OF CLUBS IN THE U.S.A." by DBCIC1::MATTHEWS () Mon Jun 26 1989 09:59

    To all you U.S golfers,
    I am thinking of buying a set of clubs in Ireland.I would be interested
    in knowing what price I could get these clubs for in the states,or
    in general how expensive clubs are over there.
    
    The clubs I am thinking of buying are
    MCGREGOR CG 1800 - FULL SET OF IRONS (9-SW) AND 
    MCGREGOR CG 1800 - METAL WOODS (1,3,5).
    
    So what would these cost in the states, or indeed what might one
    expect to pay for a full set of mid to top range irons and woods,
    preferably well known brands-MCGREGOR,PING,RAM,MIZUNO,
    
    REGDS

660.1	MCGREGOR HERITAGE $319	XANADU::CAMPBELL	It's only a CRIME if you get caught!	`Mon Jun 26 1989 10:59`	9
	Hi Mike, I have a set of MCGREGOR Heritage clubs. 3-SW, 1,3, and 5 metal woods. I have seen them priced at $209 for the irons, $109 for the woods. So $318 would buy this set. There not the best, but definately not the worst. Shawn

660.3	more ping prices	HARLEY::DAVE		`Tue Jun 27 1989 07:58`	10
	I bought ping irons last year, but I hear the price is the same this year. 3-w $415 individual irons $55 at Charmingfare in Candia, NH Dave
660.4	MACGREGOR GC1800	VIVIAN::S_TUCKEY		`Wed Jun 28 1989 11:49`	15
	Mike, In answer to your question I found that the prices of clubs in the U.S to be very cheap compared to the U.K. A rough guide is whatever you would pay in �'s sterling you would be able to pick up for in Dollars ie; �400 = $400 �700 = $700 etc.. A good place to buy the clubs is Nevada Bobs which I believe have outlets througout the states. As a point of interest I myself Play with GC 1800 woods and irons which I am in the processs of selling in favour of Petron Custom made clubs which work out cheaper than most people think. I am paying �440 for a full set which are made to measure. I hope this helps you Regards Steve...
660.5	Dunlop Red Max cheap!	GRANPA::RFAGLEY		`Tue Jan 30 1990 14:31`	15
	A hot tip on a great set of irons... Austad's is selling Dunlop's Red Max beryllium irons in 3-PW for $149 on a closeout. This model was introduced a few years ago and has been out of production for about 2 years. The clubheads are very soft, and have great feel. This is a perimiter weighted club with a rounded sole. The offset is nearly non-existent. I do caution however, the durability is limited due to the soft composition of the head. Also, I have re-shafted my clubs from stock TT-Lite S shafts to Dynamic Gold's because of a gradual bending of the shafts. (I liked them enough to improve them!) When first introduced the irons sold for around $400 dollars. Rick
660.6	Titleist DTR	MASALA::RPEDDIE		`Fri Sep 10 1993 15:33`	3
	Can anyone give me a rough price for a set of Titleist DTR irons (3-SW) in the US.
660.7	Ballpark figure	INDEV1::SMITH	I need two of everything...	`Fri Sep 10 1993 15:45`	5
	The DCI's are around $375.00 - $430.00. I assume the DTR's are about the same, maybe a bit lower. Jerry
