Show us your old (golf) balls

[JAM01]

My dad was a ranger for several years many years ago at a local course. He had a large bin of found balls. I went through it recently and found some oldies. Do you have any to share? Pictures that is, of golf balls.

Being 76, I don't think anyone would want to see my old balls.

The Tour balata 90....feel of a modern day Callaway Supersoft but the spin of a ProV1X.  They don't make em like that any more.

All good cheers bud! 

I'm sure you have a good idea what 'hacker' with a very large vintage golf ball collection/fondness for pings would be knocking about in a thread like this one? 😉 

How did you get on with that vintage blue flash set and those wound Dunlop 65 balls fella? 

Seen you pop up a few times in the TP5 thread..... good to see you're still playing my friend! 👍

Funny way I got mine, Lost Golf Balls used to sell Ping ball colored lots for about .25 cents a ball. I would get them in the 100 packs.

The Titleist sleeve was found in the house of a relative who hasn't played golf since the mid 1980s, no idea of exact age. The Jack Nicklaus ball I found in the woods of a local course recently and was in remarkably great condition, like someone stored it for decades, brought it out to play last year, and lost it on their first swing with it.
