It’s a ray Floyd signature set. IYKYK
Every once in a while, a club set surfaces not from a major manufacturer's archives, but from the deep cracks of golf-manufacturing history. This Ray Floyd “GREENS|BORO – Original Design U.S.A. Tour Pro” blade set is exactly that: a rare, small-run player's forging that embodies the spirit of 1970s and 80s pro-shop gear.
The heads carry Floyd’s signature on the muscle, his name on the sole, and that wonderfully scarce GREENS|BOROblock logo that is virtually absent from standard golf archives. These are not catalog clubs; they are a lost chapter of gear history, now reborn.
🔪 Restoration: From Chrome to Carbon Art
The photos capture this set's dramatic transformation. The first image shows the clubs in their original, chrome-plated, vintage condition (numbers 3 through 9, plus a pitching wedge—a full 8-piece set). We have since stripped the tired, factory chrome, allowing the underlying raw carbon steel to breathe.

⛳️ The Carolina Connection: History Forged in Steel
So, what is the origin of this enigmatic "GREENSBORO" lineage?
The Model: The best evidence points to a short-lived, Greensboro-branded line produced by one of the quiet American forging houses that supplied private-label heads to multiple OEMs in the 1970s and early 80s.
The Geometry: The shape is pure, period-correct Tour Blade: a compact head, a squared toe, a straight leading edge with modest camber, and that classic stepped muscle-back design reminiscent of MacGregor or Wilson.
The Floyd Tie-In: This connection is definitive, and entirely regional. Raymond Floyd is North Carolina golf royalty: born at Fort Bragg, he played for UNC before turning pro. In 1979, he notably won the Greater Greensboro Open at Forest Oaks. For a Carolinas-based distributor or pro-shop network looking to badge a high-performance "U.S.A. Tour Pro" blade, putting their local legend's name, signature, and "GREENSBORO" stamp on the back was the ultimate "flex" and a guarantee of player credibility.
📜 A Tiny Lost Chapter of a Hall-of-Famer
Floyd himself adds the indelible romance. He was a notorious gear-obsessive, forever tweaking soles and leading edges to control turf interaction. This is the man who won majors in three different decades, shot a 63 to open the 1982 PGA, and became the oldest U.S. Open champion in 1986.
Owning a set that carries his name from this regional, tour-inspired forging project is less about buying a "signature" club and more like rescuing a tiny, gear-obsessed chapter of his career. Original runs of this caliber were small, likely distributed only to serious players in the Southeast, and are extremely uncommon to find today with clean stampings and an intact full wordmark.
