O/T Old Golf Balls

[Bob_Huntley]

Any idea where I can find a Dunlop 65 1.62 ball, circa 1962, a Titelist wound balata c. 1975, a Wilson Orange ball c.1982?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Bob,

I have a Dunlop 65 1.62 ball sitting in front of me right now in my office but not sure of its vintage. It is in good condition but not new. If you let me have your address I will send it to you after I have cleaned it.

John,

That is awfully nice of you. I will IM you in a minute.

Thanks.

Bob - I also have a Dunlaop 65 in front of me but YOU CANNOT have it !!!!!

(hah - had my only hole in one with it while in the U S Navy circa 1954)

Bob,

My dad, who no longer plays, has a bunch of old balls at his home.  Next time I go over there I'll see what he has and ask if he won't mind parting with some of his older balls.

I've got some Titleist balatas that were in my old shag bag, you can have pretty much any of them--but they aren't new.

I can also offer you a 1960s Dunlop 65 - be it used, like new or brand new (and still in it's original wrapper...).

Also Dunlop reproduced a special edition of Dunlop 65 a few years ago, but they are large size..

Would trade against some golf scorecards from your area.....

Sorry but no 1975's Titleist Balata and no orange wilson..

Bob, I think Jerry Pate bought all the orange balls after his Open win.  Next time I see him here at Pensacola CC I will ask him if he has a few to spare!

That was one ugly golf ball.............I did play a few rounds with the lemon-lime ball and it wasn't as bad!

[Bob_Huntley]

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your offers. The only ball still on the missing link is that ugly orange Wilson circa 1982. I aced the fourth hole on the Dunes with it and lost it in the ditch to the left of the ninth fairway about an hour later.

After my hole in one at Stevinson Ranch in the KP a few years ago, I was p.o.'d after driving into the chasm at #16 Cypress Point two days later.  Reached into my bag for another ball and pulled out..................you guessed it, the ball from my ace, which I promptly knocked into the chasm!  Oh well.

A couple more sites for old, well much older golf balls. Well to be honest old second hand balls.

Melvyn,

Thanks for the article, a well written piece.


I wonder what someone will pay for a Pro V1 in 2099? Probably one and sixpence, oops sorry, new pence.
