Some guy was selling a bunch of golf balls at a flea market. I bought a bunch to hit around the yard. Most are Bridgestone, Titliest and Wilson balls. In the bunch I found a couple of balls that seem to be very old. On the ball itself is printed: "BRISTOL" on one side and "FIFTY" on the other. I found on the internet there used to be a Bristol golf company.

Anyone heard of these? Thanks

Sounds like you have a couple keepers. I wouldn't bang them around the yard any. Prolly not worth anything, but a display piece. No I haven't heard of Bristol golf. Maybe an old timer will have heard of them.

Well there ya go...a young fella found a Bristol sand wedge. Looks like you could still play it. How old is your Dad leftcoast?

There's a lot of club-maker's no longer in business. I have a set of Perderson blades my Dad played from the early 70's thru the early 80's. Their no longer around either.

He is 55. Doesn't play much anymore, would love to inherit his clubs but he is a righty. Has a bag full of old clubs.

I was just looking through a bucket in the garage and found a bunch of old ones with what I assume is Japanese writing on them. Pretty old.

      I've been really happy with my game dispite not playing a tonne this year.    My two biggest weaknesses have had turn arounds. Driving and chipping has got much better. Used to slice my driver terribly every time, but managed to not hit 1 bad slice today. Chipping has just started to turn around, only mishit one from a weird lie where I didn't commit to the shot. Of 8 rounds this year, two in the 80s, three below 95, and only one over 100 (with horrible greens).    Just got to work on trying to at least go to the range once or twice a week for some consistency. Hit I think 4 really bad miss hits, and was a little slow starting with 3 or 4 mini slice/hooks with irons on the first few holes. Still much more good than bad shots, but more practice should get that good swing happening more and more frequently.

      I definitely have a better outlook on BD after watching his YouTube channel and his appearances on Grant Horvath’s channel. He’s an odd character but he loves the game and is considerably more entertaining than Scheffler and many other PGAT players. I do however continue to see Koepka as a total douche.    I’m pulling for Rory but won’t be disappointed if BD wins. It’s just a damn shame he’s with LIV.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 44. (15 Jun 24) - took yesterday off (was on the road all day, home after midnight kind of thing). Today was back to it - played local course as a solo.  Played one of my fave formats of rotating thru the tee boxes - adds dimension to the approach game.  Best part of the day was the wedge play with a first ever hole out eagle on the par 5 13th hole.  Drive was tight to the left needing a punchy iron to get back to the center of fairway.  Left about 80yds to the flag, figured an easy GW would leave me close for a birdie putt.  Caught it solid and watched it one hop into the hole….over all a good day of working on the game.

      As @iacas wrote “This applies to golf, too. Relentlessly chip away at whatever you’re seeking to change. It’ll add up over time in a big way.”  Have to say my work on key points is seeing consistent results -  slowly chipping away at a better approach game, leading to more GIR and nGIR which makes for easier pars and more up and downs.
