TIL: At Least One Person Out There Collects Divots

Shane Bacon from Golf Channel asks what's the nerdiest thing you collect and he got this:

I agree that the divot collection is unique.  Anyone think he would get bids on eBay for his collection?

I thought I was being weird when I collected a shot glass full of sand from the Road Hole Bunker at St. Andrews.

In plastic baggies? C'mon man.

Looks like a weed stash.

I took some divots from a few courses, put them in sandwich bags to keep them fresh.  Took them home and planted them in the front yard.  Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes and Chambers Bay.  Pebble Beach was the most problematic.  Caddie didn't want me to do it (18th hole)... I just said, "Frank, look the other way."  For good luck I sometimes practice chipping off of them... though they've all blended together.

Also, a golf buddy volunteered to work the Ryder Cup when it was at Medinah in Illinois... he brought me a divot which is also now in that grouping.

I'm pretty sure some of them are MY divots! Not sure why he'd follow me around just to collect my divots - though I am a handsome dude!
