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 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 get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
