Golf Memorabilia and Accessories



Golf is not only one of the oldest sports in the history of man but it is also still popular today, thanks in no small part to Tiger Woods. This means that the quantity of golf memorabilia available is quite considerable, from players&; autographs, framed and signed portraits, autographed pin flags, used and signed balls, and even signed putters. Articles used at major tournaments, such as the US Open, the British Open, the Ryder Cup, or the Masters are also exceedingly in demand. Vintage items like clubs and books from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and classic leather bags are also very popular popular.

The price of golf memorabilia varies depending on a series of factors. In the case of antique pieces, usually the older the club, ball or book, the more expensive it will be. In the case of current golf memorabilia items, the price fluctuate according to the popularity of the golfer that used them or autographed them. Tiger Woods-worn gloves for example can cost more than $4,000, while golf photos of him can range from $50 to $2000 depending on whether or not it is signed. And although balls do not offer the smoothest surface for stamping a signature, one autographed by legend Jack Nicklaus can go for a little more than $200 to almost $400.

Speaking of balls, these are one of the most desired golf accessories in all of golf memorabilia, mainly because each new advance in manufacture has meant that a certain type of ball is not made anymore, which in turn means that there is a limited amount available, increasing their worth, not to mention the nostalgic value that they hold. The feather ball for instance, which was used for about 200 years until 1850 and can be considered the dean of balls, can reach prices in excess of $14,000 in auctions, due to the fact that there are only about 1,000 currently in existence, the majority of which belong to museums and private collections.

Old books are highly appreciated golf accessories as well, especially if they are out of print. Such books include 1910&;s The Golf Courses of The British Isles by Berdnard Darwin and illustrated by Harry Rountree, 1906&;s The Australian Golfer by D.G. Soutar, and 1899&;s Golf: A Royal And Ancient Game by Robert Clark. Prices can go anywhere from $350 to $750. These golf memorabilia books were the equivalent of today&;s tapes, so hold on to that Leslie Nielsen Bad Golf Made Easier tape, it might be worth a lot someday.
