I did collect logo balls for several years for all the courses I played, even had a display case for them!  But over time that collection grew and the amount of balls collected became to much.  I eventually paired them down to several that were memorable.  As for the rest of them I went to the range and hit them all!

l did know a guy that collected pencils from all the courses he played. A bit more manageable.

I’m missing a few from courses that closed through the years because I started collecting them later in my golfing life. All in all I have 90 and I’m missing about 10.

I have bought balls to give to friends, but never for myself. I do have a few that I have found, but I don't display them.


I have a few but the large chunk of courses I have played never had logo balls.  I am thinking of starting up a collection now

Collect them? I wouldn't even play them on an executive course....

I used to collect them, and had many of them. I never did display them but it got to be a bit boring to me. They just accumulated and we're in different spots around the house. They are usually cheaper balls that I don't play so I just got rid of them all via some sort of practice activity. Nobody really cares that much where I have been and where I am going so I didn't see any benefit and saving them.

Do you save a logo ball from each course you play? How many logo balls do you have?

I do, but I only have about 55-60. I don’t travel much (not my thing) and so I don’t often play new courses

I'm pretty sure in my whole golfing life I've never bought a logo ball from a golf course. It never even crossed my mind. 

I'm not a collector of anything though. I have a few score cards here and there, but those are more because I stuffed them in my bag and forgot about them. I used to occasionally keep a yardage book or two, but not so much as a souvenir but because I would want to use it to play the course. In today's world electronic stuff has made the yardage book pretty obsolete. 

I have bought a hat or two, but again, those are to wear not collect.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

about the only thing I do collect. Have one case displaying balls from courses in state and the other from out of state/out of country. Each case holds 63, have 9 left to go in Oregon, 31 from out of state. As some have mentioned, some courses don't have or were out of...and some of those (Primm Valley comes to mind) were so far out of way that I will likely never get them. Still bitter...

As others have said, I don't collect logo balls (or divots, pencils, cards, etc ...). It would be nice to have a large collection but for me it takes too much room and trouble.  How about some photos?

Mr. Kuehn... collecting (a few) divots is the real thing.  All that other stuff is just profiteering by the course.  😁

I enjoy looking at the balls from courses I played and they brings back happy memories. The people I played with and the places I traveled to. Life is really about memories.

I have a friend that collects logo balls of all kinds, not just of courses, Law firms, beverages, automobile companies, plumbers - you name it. Trades with other collectors around the world and has around 24,000 logos to date, all listed and categorized on his website. I've donated quite a few logo balls to his collection.

    • I'd just get the Stack Radar. I've never been totally comfortable with how it measures, those things. I think people put them in the wrong place. I think it's highly sensitive to where you swing… if you swing the tip end through the radar "beam" (it's not a beam, but you know what I mean I think), you get the true speed. But if you swing the spot 6" up the shaft through the beam, you get a much slower speed. For the wedge stuff alone I recommend the Stack Radar. Plus data entry is SOOO easy.
    • Does anyone else have the swing speed radar and had the experience of it going completely haywire? It’s been decent for me until the last 2 weeks. I’m now getting readings on back to back swings that are 20 mph off. I’m getting absolute garbage from it - I have to swing many times to get something close to right. The only thing that works (sometimes) is taking the batteries out. Here's the radar I'm talking about: Amazon.com : Swing Speed Radar - Achieve Longer Drives - Delivers Precise Golf Club Swing Speeds from 20 to 200 MPH. Master Consistency with Our US Made Doppler Radar Training Tool for Instant Speed Results : Golf Swing Trainers : Sports & Outdoors Thinking about just biting the bullet on a stack radar at this point.
    • Sorry, I missed your original post. Glad things are looking up with your wife's cancer. That's scary. Hope you can get back in to swing of things this year. I travel to Richmond quite a bit for son's soccer. I will reach out to see if we can get out together during one of the visits.
