You could check on eBay.

Looks like they might be worth something to a collector. Early '60's ball and according to one ad on ebay I saw, blue book is $30, but this one sold for $13.50. This is one of those items that it's worth what someone is willing to pay.

Thank you Mr. Hanson, any idea where I could find out what they are worth? These are absolutely authentic. They were given as a gift by a very wealthy businessman to my father, a while back. Now, my father no longer plays golf and has allowed me to sell them.

Thank you.

Dear Cruzthepug, I thank you for going thru all that trouble to be helpful. I myself saw the ebay auctions, but as you said, those were used, individual balls.The one's I have are unused, in their original boxes etc.

Do you have any idea where I could find out what they are worth? These are absolutely authentic. They were given as a gift by a very wealthy businessman to my father, a while back. Now, my father no longer plays golf and has allowed me to sell them.

Thank you.

I think Ebay is your best bet. The market will tell you what these are worth. Toss them up there and see what they bring.

Thank you Rebby, the problem with ebay is that I simply do not have any idea how much these balls are worth and thus can't even begin to put a certain price range on them.

It's quite frustrating that there isn't a single bit of info on these balls on the internet.

Thanks

maybe try contacting an auctioneer or appraisal service in kansas city. in the meantime, i would try to keep the balls in the boxes so you don't accidently tear/rip the boxes (that would probably have some impact on the price).

    • I found this video... Old Method 1. Open the clubface a ton 2. Open the stance a ton 3. Swing along the foot line New Method 1. Set up with the handle lower, and the ball further away form the body. 2. The clubface still opens up, but lowering the handle helps in not having to open the stance as much or for some keep the stance closed. Keeping the stance closed allows them to keep their weight forward much easier.  Now, I question that the PGA Tour players are hitting steeply down into the sand. I think they may have gotten this wrong in the video. You can load up the weight on the front foot, and still hit the ball shallow. The amount of sand taken out in some of the swings is not that much, and the divot doesn't look that deep.  Thoughts?
    • I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed. 
    • I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.

    • I voted decent weather golfer.  Generally it needs to be over 50 and sunny with no wind or over 70 if there is wind or rain.  I generally don't play in the rain or when it is over 95 unless it is league night and I can't reschedule or some type of event. Most of the time that I have played in the rain is because we just got caught in the rain, almost never tee off in the rain. We did tee off in the rain the first time we played at Eaglesticks, but it was warm and there was not much of a chance of rain and while it absolutely poured for a while, it stopped after 4 or 5 holes.
