Dear forum members, I wanted to ask your expert advice regarding the now defunct Kenneth Smith company.
could you be so kind enough to tell me How much a brand new boxed set of these 12 Kenneth Smith 454 decigram golf balls cost?
Thank you photo(4).JPG photo(1).JPG

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'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
