I have a friend who collects sand from the sandtraps of every course he plays. He then puts them in labeled glass jars and stores them in his garage.

Unlike some with a very directed collection (e.g. logo balls), I tend to collect a wide assortment of things.  I have been fortunate to have made a couple significant golf trips (e.g. Scotland, Monterrey Peninsula, etc...).  Each trip has a photo/scrap book.  I had to chuckle about the sand collection mentioned.  I have a small shot glass with sand from the Road Hole Bunker.  My first hole-in-one ball is rattling around in a box in the basement with an eclectic collection of golf balls I have found with odd logos or different designs (e.g. the two color Ping balls).  I have no idea where the ball from the 2nd ace is or even what brand it was.  I have saved score cards for low rounds and "stuff" from some golf adventures ($1,000,000 Challenge, Volunteer at Big 10 Women's Golf Championship, etc..).

This is actually kind of cool!

I'm(hopefully) going to the US open this year, I'll probably grab a scorecard, flag, towel, and $1000000000 worth of other goodies. 

 

But ut as for me, I collect ball markers. Sometimes I grab divot tools

You mean besides belly-button lint.Nothing. Not enough space at the old homestead to store extra crap.

My childhood sports card collection still sits in a closet at my mum's house. Unfortunately I was a child of the 80s which means they aren't worth much.

Scorecards. I've been playing 40+ years. I've got 3 poster size frames on my garage wall containing scorecards from all the courses I've played except two. One of those is from a long gone par 3 course. The other is from a defunct country club. Both of those venues have been gone now for 30+ years, so no hope of finding cards for them.

I have all my scorecards collected from the courses I have played and recently I have taken up collecting golf balls of the collegiate teams I compete against.

Do you collect anything from the courses you play.

I get a golf ball with the course logo on it and a blank scorecard from every course I play. Does anyone else collect anything from courses they play?

I keep the "Low Score" scorecard from every course I have played dating back to January 1993.

Course logo golf ball and my used scorecard.  I get the yardage book on nicer courses or ones I go for stay and play packages.  But that is mostly so I know where to hit the ball.

    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity. 
    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before? 
    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.
