Here you go Kev. Dug it out of the dirt..... in the basement. Still with his buddy Mr Wilson Staff 1 iron.

My camera phone kind of shanked these, sorry. Oh his Canadian cousin is on his right in the group shot, he saw action, to his left a nice Velocitized and a then a Bryon Nelson that didnt like the fairway much as I recall. All MacGregor's. The 693 was one solid son of a gun even though it had hardly any lead in the bottom.

Remember how you'd feel when someone stepped on them with cleated feet on a tee deck? The Canadian one has more scars than Evil Knievle. Half the face is probably epoxy.
