i know we have other avid golfers on the forum but any golf ball collectors??

when i was growing up... friends and i would search the pond on the 12 hole at the muirfield g.c. in dublin. at 12 or 13 years of age ... the coolest & most popular ***** were the multi-colored ping ***** (produced in the late 70's & 80's)...

i have been collecting rare golf *****, solid black nike ones & pings... which come in over 180 different color combos... the 2 colored ***** fetch the bigger bucks... some of the rarest combos can go for over $1,000 a ball... nutz...

any others out there with the same interest?

thought i would share some pics of the goodies...

a couple years back i scored the mother of ping golf ***** ... paid $31 (seller must of not known what he had)... purchase from a blurry picture of several old golf ***** in a lot.

an extremely rare 'mustard/brown' key chain ball - only a few seen by the larger collectors.

and the golf ball is worth $1,100 + in the ping golf ball world according to several major collectors.

it's always fun looking for the color combos i don't currently have after collecting for many years!

i love seeing what others collect too...
