“A Little History…”

In 1618, the balls were a combination of goose feathers and leather. They were assembled and dried out. It would then be painted. The quality of your golf ball was determined by the crafter. They used to be more expensive then your club.

It was considered a real skill to be able to make these. Then there was the invention of the Gutta Percha, or better known as the Guttie. This was made from the sap of a gutta tree that was found in the tropics. The sap was much like rubber and if you heated it, you could form it into a ball. This made the ball a cheaper thing to produce. If you have a guttie, you will not want to disregard it because they are a valued collectable now.

Making golf balls from sap made it easy to repair the ball. You didn’t have to keep buying them, only melt it down and reshape it. These balls have a smooth surface and traveled much further than any other ball at the time.

The golf ball then evolved into what we know a golf ball to be today. Haskell’s invention is still what we use to golf with, but they add little dents all around the ball so that you can get a good lift on the ball. Many people, across the world, collect old balls. In fact, antique golf balls are great as gifts. Most people don’t realize that a dirty old ball could be a money making hobby with some balls worth more than five hundred dollars. If you pay attention you can buy low and sell high, making a great profit.

“Buy Them Again and Again…”

One of the most expensive things that a golfer has to spend money on is not what you would expect. Golf balls are perhaps the most irritating thing that a golfer buys. He seems to buy them over and over, as they disappear into bushes, lakes, or sand traps.
