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

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.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

      Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
