Top 100 courses

Slowly working my way through them, don't keep anything like scorecards etc.

Nothing ......... I do keep course planners in case I go back sometime but certainly not a collector

Same here regarding ball markers. Hillsides one is my favourite, oozes in class.
Lil bit gutting when a course doesn't sell them.

I think about 60 on the current GM list. They keep moving the goalposts with clubs moving up and dropping out. Played about 70-75 in total that have been in the lists at one time or another. I think Parkstone could move up because of the condition it's in and all the latest changes, course/club is def improving.

Logo balls! Got around 50 so far in a display case from courses around Scotland, Florida, Turkey and Portugal.

Always disappointing when you play a new course and they don't do logo balls

Ball markers, I usually buy one at each new club I play. Also got a lot of course planners.

Older golf books - pre-1980s - don't have that many and only what I find in charity shops or 2nd hand bookshops

Yes it is , pro shops should stock all those items for collectors like us , look good in a proper display case ...............EYG

Think it's all a bit sad, really.

Scotty Cameron putters. Got 10 now although I only use three, one of which stays in Spain. My boy, who is 5 collects logo balls, which makes buying him presents from golf weekends very easy!

Never really seen the point of collecting stuff......each to their own and all that but it's just less rubbish to chuck in the skip when I'm gone as far as I'm concerned!!

That said, I do have some score cards and course planners etc but more for future reference than a "collection". Suppose the one thing I do keep are the balls we are given by the Captain with name and year on if we qualify for Captain's final. Wouldn't throw them away and it just seems rude to use them. Keep them in a box with the two balls I've had hole in ones with!

0.1's

I do usually pick up a course planner from away courses as well

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I used to keep the scorecard of every course I played - but don't bother any more. For a while I had mounted in a frame on the wall cards from Cypress Point, Pebble Beach, Old Course, Wentworth West, Royal Birkdale and Crail (cos it's old). But my wife thought that it was naff so it had to come down and the cards are languishing in the loft somewhere.

btw - I only visited CP and PB - haven't played them.

I have a Royal Westmorland from Barbados if you want it? Think I have a Royal County Down one too?
