Posted by Andrew Murray on Mar 28

New Grooves etc!

Posted by Andrew Murray on Mar 08

Well having had my previous irons checked for ‘tour sanctioned’ grooves, and them being fine. I have now changed them anyhow, and had a set of CG Tour red Cleveland irons built for me on the tour truck , by the head man Iain Clarke. They feel terrific & its now just a bedding in [...]
