Antique Golf Balls
By Josh Riverside
Golf is an old sport. It was played in a primitive form in Scotland way back in 1432. It is known that King James IV in 1491 decreed that playing of golf be cut down as it led to the neglect of archery- vital in the warfare of the times. Golf's roots can be traced back to the game of "Pagamia" of the Roman period that was played with a feather stuffed ball and bent sticks. Owing to the historicity of golf, much antique equipment is available today. These portray the various developments that took place in the manufacture of clubs and balls over different periods of time. Most of these antique pieces are not in a very good shape today with only a few exceptions which are very hard to come by.

With the game gaining huge popularity and a veritable fan-following, such antique items have become much sought after. Among them antique golf balls have especially seen a great surge in demand.

The prospect of owning antique golf balls related to the roots and development of the game definitely sounds exciting to these golfers.
It is true that golf balls have evolved much since their origin. The first golf balls and clubs were made of wood. These were replaced by the "Featheries" (balls made of leather skin stuffed with feathers.). The featheries were followed by the gutta -perch balls which featured lower costs and high durability. Textured gutta balls further improved the flight of these balls. Today, each of these is valued as antiques and collected avidly. These balls range between $1000 and $12,000 or sometimes even more, depending on their age and condition.
