Most of my purchases are single sets like these Hogan PC-5 irons, and I try not to buy any sets which are incomplete. I am looking forward to playing them this summer! I enjoyed cleaning up my Hogans, and they are now displayed prominently. I contacted the Ben Hogan Golf Company to try and get more info, but unfortunately the company has changed hands multiple times and they were not able to give me anymore information. They have the classic Ben Hogan script and the BH symbol with the blue and red ribbon. Another unique quality of this model is the simplicity of markings. They have a very flat sole and rest on the ground comfortably. Classic era Hogan irons catch a lot of eyes because of their unique design. In 19 they were made with a 3” hosel, and changed to a 2 ½” hosel in 1967. Hogan PC-5 irons were made from 1965-1967. In this case the grips are in decent condition so I don’t need to replace them immediately, but since they are players eventually I will need to. I finished by using 0000 steel wool to clean the shafts and then I wiped down the grips (no, not with steel wool). For these Hogans I used a wire wheel which attaches to my drill. After soaking, I scrub them with a wire brush. Typically, if there is quite a bit of rust I will soak them in a vinegar mix. I start by soaking the irons in a soap/water mixture. As long as they can play without breaking, I call it good. I am always amazed at the work they do, but I am not there yet.

There are some guys who are experts at full restoration. My main goal is bringing old clubs back to life in a playable condition.
I brought them home, take pictures so that I can show them off and I start the cleaning process. The purchase of classics is only the start of the adventure.
I paid a total of $21 for the entire set.

Pro tip: at our local Goodwill, they give you a discount if you buy a full set so if I find an iron set I grab a bag, some woods, and a putter.
I quickly grabbed a bag and few woods that I had been buying and rushed to the counter. The only club missing was the Equalizer wedge, but I eventually traded a couple of Mizunos for the missing piece. Sure enough, in my hand I had a full set of dirty and sad 1967 Hogan PC-5 with the original grips. I checked up and down to make sure that they were all there. Until one day I stumbled across a hidden gem in a set of Ben Hogan PC-5 irons.ĭuring my weekly venture to the local Goodwill, I came across a set of Ben Hogan PC-5 irons. I would look at pictures posted by fellow collectors and wonder how they had so many different sets of Hogans, and at this point I had quite the collection myself. It took me a little while to come across my first classic set of Ben Hogan irons. One of the great things about collecting is the story that comes with each new addition. I’ve known the name for most of my life, but it was not until I started collecting clubs that I truly started to appreciate his greatness. One after the other.Ī very important piece of being a Texan and a golfer is knowing the name Ben Hogan. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon, I got on 20 bulls. I’m too tall, and I have the balance of a one-legged cat. I wanted to ride bulls, so I looked up a bull riding school (shout out to the Terry Don West bull riding school) and drove up to Oklahoma for a weekend that my body will never let me forget. To answer your next question, yes, I have even attempted to rodeo. No, I don’t currently own any livestock, but in my short time on earth I have worked in the cattle business, helped out on the farm, and even spent some time in the oil field. Before diving into my “new” Hogan PC-5 irons, let’s start with this: I am about as Texan as it gets.
